long latency issues

[Wheeler, MG]

I would think that you would want to create a new check_ping_sat in checkcommands.cfg where you would use check_ping with the -t  'timeout' option and set it as high as you would need it. Granted I haven't tested this yet myself and should for our slow VPN links but I'm sure with tweaking you can get it to work for yourself.

If that's not enough detail let me know and I can get into it more for you. Remember that you can go to the %nagiosinstalldir%/etc and type:
./check_ping -h            for all the help you will need with formatting this and running it from the command line for testing.

Hello folks,

I am wondering how I can increase the latency on a check ping for various bits of equipment located at the other end of satellite links.  The check_ping command (rightfully so) sends alerts that the devices are down, but they are not... just very slow to respond and nothing apart from a touch of quantum networking is likely to change this. 

Cheers in advance,
