Ping monitor problems

[Craig Luke]

Hi all,

I am new to Nagios, and have a problem which is probably due to some
small configuration file problem.

I now have the service working, and most of the interface functions
correctly. My problem is that the status for PING on all the servers we
are monitoring are showing as 'UNKNOWN', and are highlighted in orange.
Can anyone shed some light as to what I might have done wrong?

This is the status output for the ping on one of our servers:
