Error critical could not interpret output from ping

Nagios monitoring for ping may result in the following error

 # /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 localhost

CRITICAL - Could not interpret output from ping command

The above error is received because the ping command may not have permission to be executed by a user. You can execute the ping command after setting up SUID for the ping command. Check if /bin/ping command is SUID in the server to be monitored, else

 # chmod u+s /bin/ping

You can reproduce this by running the command from the monitoring server.

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <ipadress to check> -c check_hosts
