PING is WARNING?

[Dennis Hünseler]

Yes you can :-)
In the Service definition you can configure which notifications go out for
which service:

notification_options            w,u,c,r         (this will be warning,
unknown, critical, recovery)

From nagios Documentation:

notification_options: 	This directive is used to determine when
notifications for the service should be sent out. Valid options are a
combination of one or more of the following: w = send notifications on a
WARNING state, u = send notifications on an UNKNOWN state, c = send
notifications on a CRITICAL state, r = send notifications on recoveries (OK
state), f = send notifications when the service starts and stops flapping,
and s = send notifications when scheduled downtime starts and ends. If you
specify n (none) as an option, no service notifications will be sent out.
If you do not specify any notification options, Nagios will assume that you
want notifications to be sent out for all possible states. Example: If you
specify w,r in this field, notifications will only be sent out when the
service goes into a WARNING state and when it recovers from a WARNING
state.
