VARIABLES

56       Supported probe-specific variables:
57
58       binary
59           The location of your echoping binary.
60
61           Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
62
63       forks
64           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
65
66           Example value: 5
67
68           Default value: 5
69
70       offset
71           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
72           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
73           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
74           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
75           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
76           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
77           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
78           acqusition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
79           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
80
81           Example value: 50%
82
83       step
84           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
85           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
86           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
87           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
88           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
89           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
90           set in the 'General' section.)
91
92           Example value: 300
93
94       Supported target-specific variables:
95
96       extraopts
97           Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
98           echoping(1).
99
100           Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
101
102       fill
103           The "-f" echoping(1) option.
104
105           Example value: A
106
107       ipversion
108           The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6".  Passed to
109           echoping(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
110
111           Example value: 4
112
113       pings
114           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
115           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
116           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
117           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
118           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
119
120           Example value: 5
121
122       priority
123           The "-p" echoping(1) option.
124
125           Example value: 6
126
127       size
128           The "-s" echoping(1) option.
129
130           Example value: 510
131
132       timeout
133           The "-t" echoping(1) option.
134
135           Example value: 1
136
137           Default value: 5
138
139       tos The "-P" echoping(1) option.
140
141           Example value: 0xa0
142
143       udp The "-u" echoping(1) option. Values other than '0' and 'no' enable
144           UDP.
145
146           Example value: no
147
148       waittime
149           The "-w" echoping(1) option.
150
151           Example value: 1
