VARIABLES

50       Supported probe-specific variables:
51
52       binary
53           The location of your echoping binary.
54
55           Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
56
57       forks
58           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
59
60           Example value: 5
61
62           Default value: 5
63
64       offset
65           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
66           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
67           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
68           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
69           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
70           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
71           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
72           acqusition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
73           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
74
75           Example value: 50%
76
77       step
78           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
79           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
80           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
81           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
82           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
83           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
84           set in the 'General' section.)
85
86           Example value: 300
87
88       Supported target-specific variables:
89
90       extraopts
91           Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
92           echoping(1).
93
94           Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
95
96       ipversion
97           The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6".  Passed to
98           echoping(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
99
100           Example value: 4
101
102       pings
103           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
104           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
105           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
106           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
107           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
108
109           Example value: 5
110
111       priority
112           The "-p" echoping(1) option.
113
114           Example value: 6
115
116       timeout
117           The "-t" echoping(1) option.
118
119           Example value: 1
120
121           Default value: 5
122
123       tos The "-P" echoping(1) option.
124
125           Example value: 0xa0
126
127       waittime
128           The "-w" echoping(1) option.
129
130           Example value: 1
