NAME
       Smokeping::probes::base - Base Class for	implementing SmokePing Probes

OVERVIEW
       For the time being, please use the Smokeping::probes::FPing for
       inspiration when	implementing your own probes.

SYNOPSIS
	*** Probes ***

	+base

	offset = 50%
	pings =	20
	step = 300

	# The following	variables can be overridden in each target section
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement

	# [...]

	*** Targets ***

	probe =	base # if this should be the default probe

	# [...]

	+ mytarget
	# probe	= base # if the	default	probe is something else
	host = my.host
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement

VARIABLES
       Supported probe-specific	variables:

       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%

       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: 20

       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
