ping troubles

[scott_yem at agilent.com]

>From your example, your ping responses will be considered warning over 100ms or 20%loss and critical over 500ms or 40% loss.  This normally shouldn't be a problem, but could present an issue if the systems are under load.  I have seen the samples have the setting like check_ping!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100%.  You may also want to set how many packets you are sending to get these results, 5 is normally good.

You neglected to put the critical threshold after the last "!"
check_ping!<warning level>!<critical level>

Example:
check_ping!100.0,20%!500,40%

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to thank you all for the help you provided...it was very
usefull.
One question:
When I do the check_ping in services it wants more info...the error is:

check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!

I tried entering:
check_ping!100.0,20%!

but it still wont work...any ideas on what i am doing wrong?
