Smokeping::probes::EchoPingPlugin - a basis for using echoping(1) plug-
7
ins as probes for SmokePing
10
Measures roundtrip times for SmokePing with an _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) plugin. The
11
plugins currently shipped with echoping are implemented as separate
12
probes based on this class, but the class can also be used directly.

binary = /usr/bin/echoping
24
# The following variables can be overridden in each target section
25
extraopts = -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
28
plugin = random # mandatory
29
pluginargs = -p plugin_specific_arg

probe = EchoPingPlugin # if this should be the default probe

# probe = EchoPingPlugin # if the default probe is something else

57
Supported probe-specific variables:
60
The location of your echoping binary.
62
Default value: /usr/bin/echoping
65
Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
72
If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
73
from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-
74
specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when
75
each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval,
76
or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General'
77
section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does
78
NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data
79
acqusition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the
80
variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
85
Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if dif-
86
ferent from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note that
87
the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally gener-
88
ated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll have
89
to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This variable
90
is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the
95
Supported target-specific variables:
98
Any extra options specified here will be passed unmodified to
101
Example value: -some-letter-the-author-did-not-think-of
104
The IP protocol used. Possible values are "4" and "6". Passed to
105
_e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) as the "-4" or "-6" options.
110
How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
111
global value specified in the Database section. Note that the num-
112
ber of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
113
generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have
114
to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
119
The echoping plugin that will be used. See _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) for details.
120
This can either be the name of the plugin or a full path to the
121
plugin shared object.
123
Example value: random
125
This setting is mandatory.
128
Any extra arguments needed by the echoping plugin specified with
129
the _p_l_u_g_i_n_n_a_m_e variable. These are generally provided by the sub-
132
Example value: -p plugin_specific_arg
135
The "-p" _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) option.
140
The "-t" _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) option.
146
tos The "-P" _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) option.
151
The "-w" _e_c_h_o_p_i_n_g(1) option.

The _f_i_l_l, _s_i_z_e and _u_d_p EchoPing variables are not valid by default for
160
EchoPingPlugin -derived probes.
162
Plugins are available starting with echoping version 6.
