<p class="MsoNormal">The probe defined right under the &quot;*** Targets ***&quot; clause is treated as the default probe for all hosts if you don't specify one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Explicitly specifying a probe for a host/host group is basically just an override.<br>
<br>
The same logic is applied to pretty much everything in SmokePing's config file, by the way:&nbsp; any time you go from a one configuration directive to a 'child' one (e.g. &#43;option to &#43;&#43;suboption), the child inherits all of the options of the parent unless you override
 them, and the child's children inherit the overridden settings unless you override them again.<br>

(Sorry for the dupe email, Eric, just resending for the benefit of the list -- my original reply got queued for approval due to message size, and I figured it was easier to cancel it and just truncate the reply.)<br>
