How can I do graph for host ping (packet loss or roundtrip metric) in Grafana 8 with Check_MK Datasource plugin?
When I try define new graph in Grafana, then I can choose just Service metrics. Host metrics not available there.
Check_MK version 2.0.0p8 CEE
Host check command: PING (active check with ICMP echo request)
In WATO are metrics available:

I don’t think that’s currently possible with the plugin. A workaround may be to create a ping check as a service using the “Check hosts with PING (ICMP Echo Request)” rule - unfortunately this would have the effect of doubling ping traffic to the host unless you turned off ping checking at the host level.
We do things the other way around and have Check MK send metrics to an InfluxDB instance which Grafana then queries. Check MK does then actually export the host ping metrics as well, like this:
