Hi,
u
Is there any way for me to actually troubleshoot my pluggins?

Please see under the output of a proper test:

I am on a Solaris platform:
$ uname -a   
SunOS sphynx 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc
SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine

I am logged in as nagios:
$ who am i
nagios     pts/1        Nov 27 11:25    (192.168.167.57)

Nagios is the username under which the nagios process is actually
running:
$ ps -ef | grep nagios
  nagios 11183 11069  0 11:26:20 pts/1    0:00 grep nagios
  nagios 11069 11067  0 11:25:01 pts/1    0:00 -sh
  nagios 14609     1  0   Nov 24 ?        1:44
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
  nagios 11184 11183  0 11:26:20 pts/1    0:00 ps -ef

The check_ping does work through command line $
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 100.0,20% -c
500.0,60% PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.00 ms

The above check_ping argument are as defined in the service.cfg:
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use
        host_name                       localhost
        service_description             PING
        event_handler                   server-send-trap
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              1
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_interval           1
        notification_period             24x7
        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
        }

However I still have this output (c.f. attached):
--------------------------
Hosts:   LocalHost
Service:   PING
Status:   Warning
Status Information (No output!)
--------------------------

Thanks!

Christophe
