Use ping to check connection statistics for a remote host.

Usage:
  check_ping -H <host_address> -w <wrta>,<wpl>%% -c <crta>,<cpl>%%
        [-p packets] [-t timeout] [-L]

  check_ping (-h | --help) for detailed help
  check_ping (-V | --version) for version information

Options:
-H, --hostname=HOST
    host to ping
-w, --warning=THRESHOLD
    warning threshold pair
-c, --critical=THRESHOLD
    critical threshold pair
-p, --packets=INTEGER
    number of ICMP ECHO packets to send (Default: 5)
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
    optional specified timeout in second (Default: 10)
-L, --link
    show HTML in the plugin output (obsoleted by urlize)
THRESHOLD is <rta>,<pl>% where <rta> is the round trip average travel
time (ms) which triggers a WARNING or CRITICAL state, and <pl> is the
percentage of packet loss to trigger an alarm state.
