Also, in your check_ping command definition, you're requesting the host respond within 30ms to be classed as up and OK.
This seems awfully quick - personally I request 1000ms (1 second) to give it a fair amount of time to respond. If the host/router/whatever is busy, it could take slightly longer than 30ms to reply, causing a warning (or longer than 60ms to be 'down'.) Andy.
