Ping plugin - packet size

Post by Yaisa »

Hello. I'd like to ask, how can I define packet size for ping command? Is there any way? What and where should I change to set bigger packet size for ping?

You can define this using check_icmp with the -b option instead of check_ping, check_icmp is a more efficient plugin anyway.
