DESCRIPTION

40       Integrates NFSping as a probe into smokeping. The variable binary must
41       point to your copy of the NFSping program.
42
43       NFSping can be downloaded from:
44
45       <https://github.com/mprovost/NFSping>
46
47       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.

VARIABLES

51       Supported probe-specific variables:
52
53       binary
54           The location of your nfsping binary.
55
56           Example value: /usr/local/bin/nfsping
57
58           This setting is mandatory.
59
60       blazemode
61           Send an extra ping and then discard the first answer since the
62           first is bound to be an outlier.
63
64           Example value: true
65
66       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
72           Example value: 1.5
73
74       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
79           Example value: 0.001
80
81           Default value: 0.01
82
83       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
94           Example value: 50%
95
96       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
103           Example value: 20
104
105       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
114           Example value: 300
115
116       tcp Use TCP insteadof UDP.
117
118           Example value: true
119
120       timeout
121           The nfsping "-t" parameter, but in (possibly fractional) seconds
122           rather than milliseconds, for consistency with other Smokeping
123           probes.
124
125           Example value: 1.5
