NAME

6       Smokeping::probes::base - Base Class for implementing SmokePing Probes
7

OVERVIEW

9       For the time being, please use the Smokeping::probes::FPing for
10       inspiration when implementing your own probes.
11

SYNOPSIS

13        *** Probes ***
14
15        +base
16
17        offset = 50%
18        pings = 20
19        step = 300
20
21        # The following variables can be overridden in each target section
22        /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement
23
24        # [...]
25
26        *** Targets ***
27
28        probe = base # if this should be the default probe
29
30        # [...]
31
32        + mytarget
33        # probe = base # if the default probe is something else
34        host = my.host
35        /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement

VARIABLES

38       Supported probe-specific variables:
39
40       offset
41           If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
42           from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
43           specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
44           each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
45           or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
46           section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
47           NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
48           acquisition is initiated.  (This variable is only applicable if the
49           variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
50
51           Example value: 50%
52
53       pings
54           How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
55           global value specified in the Database section. Note that the
56           number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
57           generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
58           to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
59
60           Example value: 20
61
62       step
63           Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if
64           different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
65           that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
66           generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
67           have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
68           variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
69           set in the 'General' section.)

71           Example value: 300
