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
