Thats fine, but it seems not to work in that way. I get a notification after
the first attempt.
In my config there should be a delay of at least 5 minutes between first
failure detect and first notification but it isn't.
Is there a difference between Plugin timeout and "normal" Critical State?

I'm not sure, but i think i get notified if the check_ping plugin timed
out?!
