I have this error when using Nagios XI, expect you to only fix the problem. Because I have followed the instructions on the net forever not yet.
Thank you very much.

Warning: This plugin must be either run as root or setuid root.
To run as root, you can use a tool like sudo.
To set the setuid permissions, use the command:
chmod u+s yourpluginfile
check_icmp: Failed to obtain ICMP socket: Operation not permitted

Thanks you very much.

What's the output when you run chmod u+s yourpluginfile? Also, what's the output of ll check_icmp?

Thanks you very much ! I edited it successfully and you can close this topic.
