VARIABLES

53       Supported probe-specific variables:
54
55       binary
56           The location of your echoping binary.
57
58           Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
59
60       forks
61           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
62
63           Example value: 5
64
65           Default value: 5
66
67       offset
68           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
69           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
70           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
71           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
72           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
73           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
74           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
75           acqusition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
76           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
77
78           Example value: 50%
79
80       step
81           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
82           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
83           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
84           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
85           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
86           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
87           set in the 'General' section.)
88
89           Example value: 300
90
91       Supported target-specific variables:
92
93       extraopts
94           Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
95           echoping(1).
96
97           Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
98
99       ipversion
100           The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6".  Passed to
101           echoping(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
102
103           Example value: 4
104
105       pings
106           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
107           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
108           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
109           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
110           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
111
112           Example value: 5
113
114       priority
115           The "-p" echoping(1) option.
116
117           Example value: 6
118
119       timeout
120           The "-t" echoping(1) option.
121
122           Example value: 1
123
124           Default value: 5
125
126       tos The "-P" echoping(1) option.
127
128           Example value: 0xa0
129
130       url The URL to be requested from the web cache.
131
132           Example value: http://www.example.org/
133
134           This setting is mandatory.
135
136       waittime
137           The "-w" echoping(1) option.
138
139           Example value: 1
