Ahmed, this is great, do you happen to know what the defaults for THRESHOLD are? RTA,PL?

Hi Tony,
You can customize the command line of the probe. Here is the help output of the check_ping probe
Usage: check_ping -H <host_address> -w <wrta>,<wpl>% -c <crta>,<cpl>% [-p packets] [-t timeout] [-4|-6]
Options: -h, --help Print detailed help screen -V, --version Print version information --extra-opts=[section][@file] Read options from an ini file. See https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/extra-opts.html for usage and examples. -4, --use-ipv4 Use IPv4 connection -6, --use-ipv6 Use IPv6 connection -H, --hostname=HOST host to ping -w, --warning=THRESHOLD warning threshold pair -c, --critical=THRESHOLD critical threshold pair -p, --packets=INTEGER number of ICMP ECHO packets to send (Default: 5) -L, --link show HTML in the plugin output (obsoleted by urlize) -t, --timeout=INTEGER Seconds before connection times out (default: 10)
THRESHOLD is <rta>,<pl>% where <rta> is the round trip average travel time (ms) which triggers a WARNING or CRITICAL state, and <pl> is the percentage of packet loss to trigger an alarm state. HTH,
Ahmed.

How do I change the RTA threshold ?
thanks
