Hi Tony,

I see this in /opt/observium/includes/definitions/entities/probes.inc.php

$probe = 'check_ping';
$config['probes'][$probe]['enable'] = 1;
$config['probes'][$probe]['descr']  = 'Use ping to check connection
statistics for a remote host.';
$config['probes'][$probe]['args']['default']         = "-H %hostname% -w
15,2% -c 20,5%";
// PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 4.85
ms|rta=4.847000ms;15.000000;20.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;2;5;0
// PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.67
ms|rta=0.668000ms;15.000000;20.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;2;5;0
// PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 63.59
ms|rta=63.589001ms;15.000000;20.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;2;5;0
$config['probes'][$probe]['output'][] = '/^PING (?<status>\S+) -
(?<message>Packet loss = (?<packet_loss>\S+), RTA = (?<RTA>\d[^\|]+))\|/';

I guess that these are the default values -w 15,2% -c 20,5%

Cheers,

Ahmed.
