I added up a nagios check to ping gmail (216.239.63.107) to see if the host is up or down. When I click on the "Service status" for ping in nagios it says OK but the Host "gmail" is red and shows down. It says

PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 195.05 ms

Here's my ping command for gmail -

check_command check_ping!300.0,20%!400.0,60%

And here's the command definition -

define command{
command_name check_ping
command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5
}

If you view "View Alert History For This Host" what does it say?

Here's the output of "View alert history" for the host "Gmail"

Return code of 139 is out of bounds
Hmm. Old version BTW: 2.4 is available.
What happens if you run this plugin command from the cli a good few times?

Thanks for your quick response. If I run from CLI it says ping OK. The ping command status is OK, the host command status is red.

Here's the ping command status -

PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 215.27 ms

Here's the host command status -

PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 193.69 ms

The ping command status is OK, the host command status is red.
Yeah, you mentioned that. Few things. Upgrade to -current? If you > (host|service) detail > hostname > Re-schedule the next check, does it turn back to green? What's the check command for this host? (view config > hosts > under "Host Check Command") Is it ping (with other values)?

I added up a nagios check for one site to ping . When I click on the "Service status" for ping in nagios it says down but the Host is up . while ping is working fine.


}
define service{
use local-service
host_name Akbarpur-HO
service_description PING
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}

show some output from the log file.

tail -f the nagios log file grepping for the check, and then click on "re schedule the next check of this service" from within nagios
