DESCRIPTION

44       Latency measurement using SSH. This generates Logfile messages on the
45       other Host, so get permission from the owner first!

VARIABLES

48       Supported probe-specific variables:
49
50       forks
51           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
52
53           Example value: 5
54
55           Default value: 5
56
57       offset
58           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
59           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
60           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
61           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
62           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
63           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
64           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
65           acqusition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
66           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
67
68           Example value: 50%
69
70       step
71           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
72           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
73           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
74           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
75           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
76           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
77           set in the 'General' section.)
78
79           Example value: 300
80
81       Supported target-specific variables:
82
83       greeting
84           Greeting string to send to the SSH Server. This will appear in the
85           Logfile.  Use this to make clear, who you are and what you are
86           doing to avoid confusion.
87
88           Also, don't use something that is a valid version string. This
89           probe assumes that the connection gets terminated because of
90           protocol mismatch.
91
92           Default value: SSH-Latency-Measurement-Sorry-for-this-logmessage
93
94       interval
95           The interval to be measured. One of:
96
97           connect
98               Interval between connect() and the greeting string from the
99               host.
100
101           established
102               Interval between our greeting message and the end of the
103               connection because of Protocol mismatch. This is the default.
104
105           complete
106               From connect() to the end of the connection.
107
108           Default value: established
109
110       mininterval
111           Minimum interval between the start of two connection attempts in
112           (possibly fractional) seconds.
113
114           Default value: 0.5
115
116       pings
117           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
118           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
119           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
120           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
121           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
122
123           Example value: 5
124
125       port
126           Connect to this port.
127
128           Default value: 22
129
130       timeout
131           Timeout for the connection.
132
133           Default value: 5
