check_ping: %s: Warning threshold must be integer or percentage!

[Andy Shellam]

Ranjeet,

Only just got this e-mail after I'd replied!

OK this is what's happening. Firstly, check_ping on your Nagios machine 
is ignored by nrpe - as that contains it's own command definitions. So, 
here:
command[check_ping]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H $ARG1$ -w 
$ARG2$ -c $AGR3$ -p 5

it's expecting the hostname as argument 1, the warning threshold as 
argument 2 and the critical threshold as argument 3. (depending on what 
your check_nrpe command reads (something like "check_nrpe -H 
$HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c $ARG1$"), what Nagios is actually passing is:

"check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%", so your client machine is reading the 
host (argument 1) as 100.0,20%, the warning threshold (argument 2) as 
500.0,60% and the critical threshold as blank.

Also notice your typo in command[check_ping]: $AGR3$ should be $ARG3$

Andy.
