Unfortunately, check_ping isn't written to return the RTA as a collectible data point:

   $ $ZENHOME/ libexec/check_ping -H 192.168.10.1 -w 5,100% -c 10,100%
   PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.20 ms

If it responded back:

   PING OK|Lost=0 RTA=1.20

We could use that. I'm surprised this isn't the case. It would be fairly trivial to write a wrapper around check_ping to produce this result.

In the next release of Zenoss, we will provide a platform for these kinds of custom configurations and add-ons.

Until then, read up on the nagios plugin format.  It's not very complex.
