Monitor packet loss with check_ping command

[Giles Coochey]

With that command, you will receive a warning at 20% PL and a critical
at 50% PL.

 

By the way, substitute $HOSTNAME$ with $HOSTADDRESS$, my typo.

 

PS I only top-post here, because Outlook cannot seem to properly
bottom-post with HTML emails, which the original sender used. Apologies,
I will bottom post if the original thread is plain text - blame
Microsoft on that one.

But in this case - if there is a 20% packet loss out of 10 pings sent to
a host - will I be notified?

Packet Loss is considered a reply not within the timeout, this can
typically be around 3000ms

 

So something like:

 

./check_ping -H $HOSTNAME$ -w 3000,20% -c 3000,50%

 

Will do what you want.

Hi Guys,

Can someone give me an example on how I can monitor only packet loss but
not latency
