help tweaking critical timeout please!

[Evan Mann]

I get host DOWN e-mails more frequently than I'd desire, ex:

***** Nagios 1.0b6 *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: north-router-ext
State: DOWN
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Info: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds
Date/Time: Wed Nov 20 15:49:34 EST 2002

Everything is a basic setup, checking the service and then the host, both
the same IPs are being checked each time.

My check_ping command is as follows: $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000,80% -c 5000,100% -p 1
My check_host_alive uses the same parameters

How do I tweak my setup so I don't get the CRITICAL host DOWN e-mails when
the plugin times out after 10 seconds.  I'd like to extend that # to 30
seconds or more.
