Unless your system is frequently unavailable, this seems very high. A ping
packet is typically under 100 bytes. Let's assume it's 128 bytes to be
generous. Five packets sent would be 640 bytes. Running check_ping every
five minutes means it's run 288 times per day, generating under 200 kbytes
per host. Is it 14MB for one host or for all hosts you're checking?
