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

48 Supported probe-specific variables:
49 forks
51 Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
52 Example value: 5
54 Default value: 5
56 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 Example value: 50%
69 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 Example value: 300
80 Supported target-specific variables:
82 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 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 Default value: SSH-Latency-Measurement-Sorry-for-this-logmessage
93 interval
95 The interval to be measured. One of:
96 connect
98 Interval between connect() and the greeting string from the
99 host.
100 established
102 Interval between our greeting message and the end of the
103 connection because of Protocol mismatch. This is the default.
104 complete
106 From connect() to the end of the connection.
107 Default value: established
109 mininterval
111 Minimum interval between the start of two connection attempts in
112 (possibly fractional) seconds.
113 Default value: 0.5
115 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 Example value: 5
124 port
126 Connect to this port.
127 Default value: 22
129 timeout
131 Timeout for the connection.
132 Default value: 5
