Errors in check_icmp?

 

1) "./check_icmp -V"

                Gives no output

 

2) "./check_icmp -h" shows

<snip>

-w

                warning threshold (currently 200.000ms,0%)

-c

                critical threshold (currently 500000.000ms,80%)

<snip>

Notice that the critical threshold "500000.000ms" should probably read
"500.000ms"

 

3) Plugin output of "./check_icmp -H localhost" shows

 

OK - localhost: rta 0.055ms, lost 0%|rta=0.055ms;200.000;500.000;0;
pl=0%;40;80;;

 

?? Notice "pl=0%;40;80"

Isn't that saying that a) 0% packet loss this test, b) 40% WARNING
threshold, and c) 80% CRITICAL threshold?

 

If I am reading that right, I notice that the 40% listed in the output
does not match the 0% listed for "-w" in the help.

 

Do I misunderstand the output or help, or is the "-h" output wrong and
the default thresholds are -w 200.000ms,40% -c  500.000ms,80%

 

Thanks for any response,

Matthew
