[smokeping-users] Holes in graphs

[Eric Chatham]

That seemed to work for me too.  I tried your idea.  Thank you.

*** Probes ***

+ FPing
binary = /usr/sbin/fping

++ FPing_default

++ FPing_I

offset = 0%

++ FPing_II

offset = 10%

++ FPing_III

offset = 20%

++ FPing_IV

offset = 30%

*** Targets ***

slaves=nycvpn001 laxvpn001

probe = FPing_default

menu = Top
title = Network Latency Grapher

         Here you will learn all about the latency of our network.

Oh, I think I got that as well.  I'm not sure if it was a design decision or a bug, but if you create 'sub'-probes you can't use the parent any more.

I just went to double-check my config file and I have +FPing, ++FPing_default, ++FPing_1, etc., and I use ++FPing_default as my default under *** Targets ***.

Hi Peter,

I'm getting a error when I try to daemonize the program:

The probe defined right under the "*** Targets ***" clause is treated as the default probe for all hosts if you don't specify one.   Explicitly specifying a probe for a host/host group is basically just an override.

The same logic is applied to pretty much everything in SmokePing's config file, by the way:  any time you go from a one configuration directive to a 'child' one (e.g. +option to ++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.

(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.)
