--status-asis available in mackerel-check-plugins v0.50.1 and later.
Example configuration
The following configuration sends 5 packets to 192.168.1.1 and generates a Critical alert if none respond within 100ms.
[plugin.checks.check-ping-sample] command = ["check-ping", "-H", "192.168.1.1", "-n", "5", "-w", "100"]
To test the configuration, run the plugin directly in a terminal as follows:
check-ping -H 192.168.1.1 -n 5 -w 100
