using nagios WAN Monitoring a big question

[guillaume LOHEZ]

Hi,

If you always ping your remote host with 700 or 800 ms
You should increase the threshold.

At the moment, you said to Nagios, issue a Warning if ping is more than
100 ms OR 50% of packets loss
And issue a Critical if ping is more than 500 ms OR 60% of packets loss

You have a 700 or 800 ms ping, you should put a 800 ms warning threshold
and a 1000 ms critical threshold with a packets loss at 10% and 20%

Regards
Guillaume
