PING is critical

I expect you have configured the service check (or the command
definition) so that Nagios only sends one ping.  Pings are not
guaranteed to get there and back so sometimes do get lost.  Configure
your services to send a few pings (I'd say anything between three and
ten but your mileage may vary) and consider using either check_fping
or check_icmp instead of check_ping.
