-t, --timeout=INTEGER:<timeout state>

Optional ":<timeout state>" can be a state integer (0,1,2,3) or a state STRING
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.
This plugin uses the ping command to probe the specified host for packet loss
(percentage) and round trip average (milliseconds). It can produce HTML output
linking to a traceroute CGI contributed by Ian Cass. The CGI can be found in
the contrib area of the downloads section at http://www.nagios.org/
