The variable binary must point to your copy of the Qstat program. Make sure to set your pings to 10, most Quake servers seem to throttle af- ter 10 rapid pings. Set the game parameter to one of the valid options to check a different type VARIABLES Supported probe-specific variables: binary The location of your quakestat binary. Example value: /usr/bin/quakestatba This setting is mandatory. forks Run this many concurrent processes at maximum Example value: 5 Default value: 5 gameWhat game type to check, from the -default flag of quakestat Example value: nexuizs Default value: q3s mininterval The minimum amount of time between sending a ping packet to the target. Example value: 0.1 Default value: 0.5 offset If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General' section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data acquisition is initiated. (This vari- able is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.) Example value: 50% portThe game server port to check. It can also be overridden by adding :port to the host parameter in the Target config. Example value: 27970 sourceaddress The quakestat "-srcip" parameter . From quakestat(1): Send packets using this IP address Example value: 192.168.0.1 sourceport The quakestat "-srcport" parameter . From quakestat(1): Send packets from these network ports Example value: 9923-9943 stepDuration 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 if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.) Example value: 300 timeout How long a single 'ping' takes at maximum Example value: 15 Default value: 5 Supported target-specific variables: /^influx_.+/ This is a tag that will be sent to influxdb and has no impact on the probe measurement. The tag name will be sent without the "influx_" pre- fix, which will be replaced with "tag_" instead. Tags can be used for filtering. Example value: influx_location = In the basement pings How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the global value specified in the Database section. Note that the number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.
