Ping check with rta and pl alarms

Post by davide.bonicelli »

Hi, with the standard check_ping plugin the alarms are for rta OR pl%
is there a way to have an alarm for rta AND pl% over the limits?
for example, if i put an alarm like this 100,20% i'd like to receive the mail if rta is >100 and pl>20%

Hi @davide.bonicelli,

There are few more ping checks available on the Nagios Exchange, but I was unable to find a plugin that had that kind of logic built into it.

I would take a look a the check_icmp plugin as it is a little more flexible as far as passing arguments.

Hi,

I wish could be more help on this one. You might try looking at some of the plugins on the Nagios Exchange, and use that as a template for creating a new one based on your requirements.
