The check_ping plugin fails when a host doesn't support ipv6 but a ipv6 address is returned by gethostbyname. See for example the following command line output: infra1:~# host www.heise.de www.heise.de has address 193.99.144.85 www.heise.de has IPv6 address 2a02:2e0:3fe:100::7 infra1:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H www.heise.de -w 100.0,20% -c 200.0,40% CRITICAL - Network Unreachable (www.heise.de) infra1:~# ping6 2a02:2e0:3fe:100::7 connect: Network is unreachable Nagios should use the ipv4 address if available, at least as a fallback.
