If you run many probes concurrently you may want to
79
prevent them from hitting your network all at the same
80
time. Using the probe-specific offset parameter you
81
can change the point in time when each probe will be
82
run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or
83
alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the
84
'General' section is used if nothing is specified
85
here. Note that this does NOT influence the rrds
86
itself, it is just a matter of when data acqusition is
87
initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the
88
variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General'

Duration of the base interval that this probe should

use, if different from the one specified in the

'Database' section. Note that the step in the RRD

files is fixed when they are originally generated, and

Supported target-specific variables:
105
The _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) "-R" option: Accept HTTP status codes 3xx
106
(redirections) as normal responses instead of treating them as
107
errors. Note that this option is only available starting with
110
Enabled if the value is anything other than 'no' or '0'.
109
Any extra options specified here will be passed unmod-

ified to _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1).

Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to

The _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) "-A" option: force the proxy to ignore

the cache. Enabled if the value is anything other

How many pings should be sent to each target, if dif-
130
ferent from the global value specified in the Database
131
section. Note that the number of pings in the RRD
132
files is fixed when they are originally generated, and

if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
