nrpe checks failing because of low ping

[Matt Rae]

i'm looking into both ideas and thanks to both of you. I read the
service dependency docs and cam out with what is below. would something
like this solve my problems?

define servicedependency {
       hostgroup_name                  grp1,grp2,grp3
       service_description             PING
       dependent_hostgroup_name        grp1,grp2,grp3
       dependent_service_description   *
       execution_failure_criteria      n
       notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
       }
