[smokeping-users] Adjusting probe times for one specific target

Hello.

Running smokeping 2.4.2

One of my targets needs to be checked more often than the others defined
in the config file.  Is this possible to set up?

Example:

My current entry for echopinghttp is:

+ EchoPingHttp
forks = 5
offset = 50%
step = 300
pings = 5
binary = /usr/bin/echoping
extraopts = -R

I attempted to set up a secondary probe to have a shorter step time:

++EchoPingHttpShort
step = 100

But when I run --check, it errors with "probe EchoPingHttp missing from
the Probes section"

I get the same error with:

++ EchoPingHttpShort
forks = 5
offset = 50%
step = 100
pings = 5
binary = /usr/bin/echoping
extraopts = -R

If this is possible, can I get a hint as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
