There isn't any notion of failed/recovered "state". If a ping fails, a log message is emitted. If it succeeds, nothing is logged. That's all. I don't know about how OMD works, but would I typically check the values emitted by the ping plugin (from one of the available write plugins, or using collectd's threshold system) and raise an alarm if the value is above/below a certain level.
