40 Integrates NFSping as a probe into smokeping. The variable binary must
41 point to your copy of the NFSping program.
42 NFSping can be downloaded from:
44 <https://github.com/mprovost/NFSping>
46 In blazemode, NFSping sends one more ping than requested, and discards
48 the first RTT value returned as it's likely to be an outlier.

51 Supported probe-specific variables:
52 binary
54 The location of your nfsping binary.
55 Example value: /usr/local/bin/nfsping
57 This setting is mandatory.
59 blazemode
61 Send an extra ping and then discard the first answer since the
62 first is bound to be an outlier.
63 Example value: true
65 hostinterval
67 The nfsping "-p" parameter, but in (possibly fractional) seconds
68 rather than milliseconds, for consistency with other Smokeping
69 probes. This parameter sets the time that nfsping waits between
70 successive packets to an individual target.
71 Example value: 1.5
73 mininterval
75 The nfsping "-i" parameter, but in (probably fractional) seconds
76 rather than milliseconds, for consistency with other Smokeping
77 probes. This is the interval between pings to successive targets.
78 Example value: 0.001
80 Default value: 0.01
82 offset
84 If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
85 from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
86 specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
87 each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
88 or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
89 section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
90 NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
91 acquisition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the
92 variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
93 Example value: 50%
95 pings
97 How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
98 global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
99 number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
100 generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
101 to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
102 Example value: 20
104 step
106 Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
107 different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
108 that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
109 generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
110 have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
111 variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
112 set in the 'General' section.)
113 Example value: 300
115 tcp Use TCP insteadof UDP.
117 Example value: true
119 timeout
121 The nfsping "-t" parameter, but in (possibly fractional) seconds
122 rather than milliseconds, for consistency with other Smokeping
123 probes.
124 Example value: 1.5
