43 Integrates Qstat as a probe into smokeping. The variable binary must
44 point to your copy of the Qstat program.
45 Make sure to set your pings to 10, most Quake servers seem to throttle
47 after 10 rapid pings.
48 Set the game parameter to one of the valid options to check a different
50 type
51
53 Supported probe-specific variables:
54 binary
56 The location of your quakestat binary.
57 Example value: /usr/bin/quakestatba
59 This setting is mandatory.
61 forks
63 Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
64 Example value: 5
66 Default value: 5
68 game
70 What game type to check, from the -default flag of quakestat
71 Example value: nexuizs
73 Default value: q3s
75 mininterval
77 The minimum amount of time between sending a ping packet to the
78 target.
79 Example value: 0.1
81 Default value: 0.5
83 offset
85 If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
86 from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
87 specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
88 each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
89 or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
90 section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
91 NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
92 acquisition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the
93 variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
94 Example value: 50%
96 port
98 The game server port to check. It can also be overridden by adding
99 :port to the host parameter in the Target config.
100 Example value: 27970
102 sourceaddress
104 The quakestat "-srcip" parameter . From quakestat(1):
105 Send packets using this IP address
107 Example value: 192.168.0.1
109 sourceport
111 The quakestat "-srcport" parameter . From quakestat(1):
112 Send packets from these network ports
114 Example value: 9923-9943
116 step
118 Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
119 different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
120 that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
121 generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
122 have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
123 variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
124 set in the 'General' section.)
125 Example value: 300
127 timeout
129 How long a single 'ping' takes at maximum
130 Example value: 15
132 Default value: 5
134 Supported target-specific variables:
136 /^influx_.+/
138 This is a tag that will be sent to influxdb and has no impact on
139 the probe measurement. The tag name will be sent without the
140 "influx_" prefix, which will be replaced with "tag_" instead. Tags
141 can be used for filtering.
142 Example value: influx_location = In the basement
144 pings
146 How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
147 global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
148 number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
149 generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
150 to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
151 Example value: 5
