NAME

check_winping - Nagios plugin for ping checks from Windows systems

SYNOPSIS

check_winping [ -H | --hostname ] host --warning threshold --critical threshold [ [ -4 | --use-ip4 ] | [ -6 | --use-ipv6 ] ] [ --packets number of packets ] [ --buffersize number of bytes ] [ --timeout seconds ] [ --verbose .. ] [ --help ]

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the standard Nagios plugin check_ping, check_winping performs ping checks from Windows systems. It is a compiled perl script and the source code is available as a part of the package.

OPTIONS

-H|--hostname host: Hostname to ping. Required.
--warning threshold: Return WARNING if measured values are at least the threshold values. A threshold is specified as a combination of round trip time and packet loss ratio with the following format : round-trip-time in milliseconds,packet-losss-ratio%. Example: 100,80%. Required.
--warning threshold: Return CRITICAL if measured values are at least the threshold values. A threshold is specified as a combination of round trip time and packet loss ratio with the following format : round-trip-time in milliseconds,packet-losss-ratio%. Example: 100,80%. Required.
-4|--use-ip4: Use IPv4 connection (standard Windows ping.exe). Optional. Default is on.
-6|--use-ip6: Use IPv6 connection (standard Windows ping6.exe). Optional. Default is off.
--packets number of packets: Specify the number of packets to send during pinging. Optional. Default is 5 packets.
--buffersize number of bytes: Specify buffer size for ping packets. Optional. Default is 32 bytes.
--timeout seconds: Specify ping timeout in seconds. Optional. Default is 10 seconds.
--verbose: Produces detailed output for debugging. Optional. Can be specified up to twice for increasing verbosity.
--help: Produces a help message.

EXAMPLE

 check_winping -H itefix.no --warning 100,80% --critical 250,100%

Checks itefix.no with default ping values and returns WARNING if round trip average or packet loss ratio is at least 100 ms or 80% respectively, returns CRITICAL if round trip average or packet loss ratio is at least 250 ms or 100% respectively

EXIT VALUES

 0 OK
 1 WARNING
 2 CRITICAL
 3 UNKNOWN

VERSION

Version 1.5.0.3, February 2013

CHANGELOG

Changes from 1.4

 - Bug fix: Proper handling of no responses.

 - New packaging with a faster binary and no need for local temp storage

Changes from 1.3

 - Produce performance data output according to the guidelines

Changes from 1.2

 - Bug fix: Newer Windows versions produce ping messages with one less
   empty line. Check_winping strips now all empty lines before
   processing ping output.

Changes from 1.1

 - Better pattern match for localized pings (support for multiple words)
 - Scan response messages to detect anomalies (TTL expire for instance)

Changes from 1.0

 - Use more generalized match patterns to support localized ping/ping6
