check_ping problem

[Tom Welsh]

Hi All,

 

Nagios 1.2

Plugins 1.3.1

Debian woody

 

I'm getting an intermittent problem with check ping. 

 

Several times a day I'm getting critical alerts from check ping saying its
failing. When I look in Notifications the information section shows
"check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!"

 

Here are my service check and check command configs for this service

 

Services.cfg

 

define service{

        use                                   generic

        host_name                        mail-1,mail-2,mail-3

        service_description             PING

        is_volatile                          0

        check_period                    24x7

        contact_groups                 internet-mail-servers

        notification_options            w,u,c,r

        check_command                check_ping!130.0,20%%!200.0,60%%

        }

 

Checkcommand.cfg

# 'check_ping' command definition

define command{

        command_name                check_ping

        command_line                   $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$
-w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5

        }

 

Su'ing to Nagios I can run the command fine on the command line

 

ubermonger:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ ../libexec/check_ping -H 80.87.131.163 -w
100,20% -c 150,40%

PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms

 

ubermonger:/usr/local/nagios/etc$ ../libexec/check_ping -H 80.87.131.163 -w
100,20%% -c 150,40%% -p 2

PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms

 

I've tried with a single % and a double %% symbol but get the same results.

 

Anyone point out what I have done wrong coz I cant spot it :-(

 

Cheers

 

Tom
