<p>Hi List,</p>
<p>The default check_ping has an annoying feature I think and that's it will produce performance output equal to the timeout when a host is not reachable.<br />That means the RTA graphs are completely filled, while I think they should be interrupted... by not producing performance output for RTA but only for the packets lost.</p>
<p>To have this behaviour I'm looking for a drop in replacement for check_ping which produces exactly the same performance output labels as I don't want to recreate all my ping rrds<br /><br />On the other side I think it would make sense to at lease add this feature through a command line switch for check_ping.</p>
<p>I'm using:</p>
<p>check_ping v1.4.14 (nagios-plugins 1.4.14)<br />Copyright (c) 1999 Ethan Galstad <nagios@nagios.org><br />Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Nagios Plugin Development Team<br /> <nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net><br /><br />Use ping to check connection statistics for a remote host.<br /><br />Usage:check_ping -H <host_address> -w <wrta>,<wpl>% -c <crta>,<cpl>%<br /> [-p packets] [-t timeout] [-4|-6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for your advice and tips</p>
