VARIABLES

52       Supported probe-specific variables:
53
54       binary
55           The location of your echoping binary.
56
57           Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
58
59       forks
60           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
61
62           Example value: 5
63
64           Default value: 5
65
66       offset
67           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
68           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
69           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
70           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
71           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
72           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
73           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
74           acquisition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
75           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
76
77           Example value: 50%
78
79       step
80           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
81           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
82           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
83           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
84           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
85           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
86           set in the 'General' section.)
87
88           Example value: 300
89
90       Supported target-specific variables:
91
92       /^influx_.+/
93           This is a tag that will be sent to influxdb and has no impact on
94           the probe measurement. The tag name will be sent without the
95           "influx_" prefix, which will be replaced with "tag_" instead. Tags
96           can be used for filtering.
97
98           Example value: influx_location = In the basement
99
100       extraopts
101           Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
102           echoping(1).
103
104           Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
105
106       ipversion
107           The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6".  Passed to
108           echoping(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
109
110           Example value: 4
111
112       pings
113           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
114           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
115           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
116           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
117           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
118
119           Example value: 5
120
121       priority
122           The "-p" echoping(1) option.
123
124           Example value: 6
125
126       timeout
127           The "-t" echoping(1) option.
128
129           Example value: 1
130
131           Default value: 5
132
133       tos The "-P" echoping(1) option.
134
135           Example value: 0xa0
136
137       waittime
138           The "-w" echoping(1) option.
139
140           Example value: 1
