An extension of a basic ICMP test script idea. The check does fairly boring ICM check of a host. On packet loss it can run a MTR ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_%28software%29 ) check and email the results to the specified address. (Requires that the nagios user have sudo rights to do so.) The is great for companies that have critical network paths without a 24x7 staff of people to look after them. Check the GitHub link for the latest versions

took me a long time to get it running, but happily i succeded. sudo needs to be installed. tried 2 other mtr plugins to no nice results. The problem is that graphs produced are empty, or is that expected?
The script should return a single piece of performance data - Packet loss expressed as a percentage. If the script is not working as needed, please email me and I will help.
Kindly share some snapshot or output of plugin run on system to have a visual idea.
