Integrates ssh-keyscan as a probe into smokeping. The
39
variable bbiinnaarryy must point to your copy of the ssh-keyscan
40
program. If it is not installed on your system yet, you
41
should install openssh >= 3.8p1
43
The Probe asks the given host n-times for it's public key,
44
where n is the amount specified in the config File.
46
As part of the initialization, the probe asks localhost
47
for it's public key and tries to parse the output. Make
48
sure you have SSH running on the localhost as well.

Supported probe-specific variables:
68
If you run many probes concurrently you may want to
69
prevent them from hitting your network all at the same
70
time. Using the probe-specific offset parameter you
71
can change the point in time when each probe will be
72
run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or
73
alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the
74
'General' section is used if nothing is specified
75
here. Note that this does NOT influence the rrds
76
itself, it is just a matter of when data acqusition is
77
initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the
78
variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General'

84
Duration of the base interval that this probe should
85
use, if different from the one specified in the
86
'Database' section. Note that the step in the RRD
87
files is fixed when they are originally generated, and
88
if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll
89
have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert
90
them. (This variable is only applicable if the vari-

How many pings should be sent to each target, if dif-

115
section. Note that the number of pings in the RRD
116
files is fixed when they are originally generated, and
