VARIABLES

54       Supported probe-specific variables:
55
56       binary
57           The location of your echoping binary.
58
59           Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
60
61       forks
62           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
63
64           Example value: 5
65
66           Default value: 5
67
68       offset
69           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
70           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
71           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
72           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
73           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
74           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
75           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
76           acqusition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
77           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
78
79           Example value: 50%
80
81       step
82           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
83           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
84           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
85           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
86           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
87           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
88           set in the 'General' section.)
89
90           Example value: 300
91
92       Supported target-specific variables:
93
94       extraopts
95           Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
96           echoping(1).
97
98           Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
99
100       fill
101           The "-f" echoping(1) option.
102
103           Example value: A
104
105       ipversion
106           The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6".  Passed to
107           echoping(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
108
109           Example value: 4
110
111       pings
112           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
113           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
114           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
115           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
116           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
117
118           Example value: 5
119
120       priority
121           The "-p" echoping(1) option.
122
123           Example value: 6
124
125       size
126           The "-s" echoping(1) option.
127
128           Example value: 510
129
130       timeout
131           The "-t" echoping(1) option.
132
133           Example value: 1
134
135           Default value: 5
136
137       tos The "-P" echoping(1) option.
138
139           Example value: 0xa0
140
141       waittime
142           The "-w" echoping(1) option.
143
144           Example value: 1
