you must modifiy chech_ping line 74 and add :
setlocale (LC_ALL, "C");
 instead of :
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");


recompile ... in nagios it will be state ok in console mode
you will get something like :
PING CRITICAL - PAcket loss= 0%, TA= 1 ms

Hi,

Same problem here on a redhat 7.3. For me this problem is
due to the local used. In fact my local (french) used , as
float separator instead of . (us or english local). So the
scanf function is unable to read float from the command ping
(wich sort float using .). I made a small patch (it has a
bad quality but it works). I post it here :
