CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

Post by madpato »

Hello

Well i have this issue mentioned in the subject on a recently installed nagios core in a debian x64 lenny box.
Already tried the most common solution around: give executable permission to /bin/ping with:
chmod u+s /bin/ping
But still the same problem.

I did tried this in the command line also:
/bin/ping -n -U -w 30 -c 5 127.0.0.1
it does work. Now if i do:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% -p 5
I get the same error:

ping
CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

In my cgi.cfg file in the ping sintax section i have:
ping_syntax=/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 $HOSTADDRESS$
If you need any extra info i can provide it, i hope you can help me, thanks.
