NAME¶
Smokeping::probes::basevars - Another Base Class for implementing SmokePing Probes
OVERVIEW¶
Like Smokeping::probes::base, but supports host-specific variables for the probe.
SYNOPSIS¶
*** Probes *** +basevars offset = 50% pings = 20 step = 300 # The following variables can be overridden in each target section /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement # [...] *** Targets *** probe = basevars # if this should be the default probe # [...] + mytarget # probe = basevars # if the default probe is something else host = my.host /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement
DESCRIPTION¶
Provides the method `targets' that returns a list of hashes. The hashes contain the entries:
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

BUGS¶
Uses `Smokeping::probes::base' internals too much to be a derived class, but I didn't want to touch the base class directly.
