[smokeping-users] A question about Multi Target

[Sorrell, Al]

Sorry for the repost, but hadn't seen any responses...

I tried configuring this, but am getting the following error:
Can't call method "_pings" on an undefined value at
/export/appl/smokeping-2.4.2/lib/Smokeping.pm line 837.

My configuration has the following (the host = line is really all on one
line; splits are in email). There are a couple of ambiguities:
1) Must the Multihost view be "below" (more ++ signs) the section
containing the individual elements? Because of the current hierarchy,
I'd like to be able to combine items from different first-level (+)
sections.

2) I assume the path refers to the name found in the original 'host='
spec as opposed to, say, the section name? In the example below this
would be "inrt3-Inet" as opposed to the actual hostname "inrt3-ge2-3" .

...
*** Targets ***

probe = FPing

menu = Top
title = Network Latency Grapher

...

+ Internet-DMZ
menu = Internet-DMZ
title = Internet Connectivity

+++ inrt3-Inet
menu=inrt3 AT&T Internet
title=inrt3 Gi2/3 to AT&T Internet
host=inrt3-ge2-3

+++ bricrtb

...

+ MultihostCircuitViews
menu = MultihostCircuitViews
title = Circuit-Based Multiple Hosts

++ ATT-Domestic-VPN-View
menu = AT&T Domestic VPNs
title= AT&T Domestic VPNs
host = /Internet-DMZ/inrt3-Inet /XYZ/Domestic/bostrtb-Tunnel23
/XYZ/Domestic/bricrtb-Tunnel9
