NAME
       Smokeping::probes::SipSak - tests sip server

OVERVIEW
       This probe sends	OPTIONS	messages to a sip server testing the latency.

SYNOPSIS
	*** Probes ***

	+SipSak

	binary = /usr/bin/sipsak
	forks =	5
	offset = 50%
	step = 300
	timeout	= 15

	# The following	variables can be overridden in each target section
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement
	keep_second = yes
	params = --numeric --password=mysecret
	pings =	5
	port = 5061
	sipsak_timeout = 2
	user = nobody

	# [...]

	*** Targets ***

	probe =	SipSak # if this should	be the default probe

	# [...]

	+ mytarget
	# probe	= SipSak # if the default probe	is something else
	host = my.host
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement
	keep_second = yes
	params = --numeric --password=mysecret
	pings =	5
	port = 5061
	sipsak_timeout = 2
	user = nobody

DESCRIPTION
       The probe uses the sipsak <http://sipsak.org/> tool to measure sip
       server latency by sending an OPTIONS message.

       The sipsak command supports a large number of additional	parameters to
       fine-tune its operation.	Use the	params variable	to configure them.

VARIABLES
       Supported probe-specific	variables:

       binary
	   The location	of your	echoping binary.

	   Default value: /usr/bin/sipsak

       forks
	   Run this many concurrent processes at maximum

	   Example value: 5

	   Default value: 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 variable is only
	   applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set	in the
	   'General' section.)

	   Example value: 50%

       step
	   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 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_" prefix, which will	be replaced with "tag_"	instead. Tags
	   can be used for filtering.

	   Example value: influx_location = In the basement

       keep_second
	   If OPTIONS is actually implemented by the server, SipSak will
	   receive two responses. If this option is set, the timing from the
	   second, final response will be counter

	   Example value: yes

       params
	   additional sipsak options. The options will get split on space.

	   Example value: --numeric --password=mysecret

       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.

	   Example value: 5

       port
	   usa non-default port	for the	sip connection.

	   Example value: 5061

       sipsak_timeout
	   Timeout for sipsak in seconds (fractional)

	   Default value: 2

       user
	   User	to use for sip connection.

	   Example value: nobody
