check_ping requires both warning and critical thresholds. The command
above (check_ping!100.0,20%) only passes one of those values. That value
will be substituted in for $ARG1$ in your command definition. If the
command definition references an $ARG2$ then it is expecting you to add
more values (i.e. check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0!50%). Which argument is
substituted for which value depends entirely on the command definition
which wasn't provided so I can't be more specific than that. The first
argument is $ARG1$ and the second is $ARG2$
