[smokeping-users] Two probe types for one host

Mon Dec 21 10:32:50 CET 2015

The probe declared in the start of the config is the default probe. If you don't declare anything in the target host area, that probe is used. For example (there are parts of the config from the master for one of my three setups, this one is the most complex one, I have changed some parts for obvious reasons):
In the first section (probe section) is where you declare the different probes. Remember that if you have a master slave setup, then some probes are probably used on slaves. In my case some slaves are rasberrypi machines where the master is OpenSuSE, so the executables are not in the same path, hence the overrides..
For the first part there is no probe = ... for each host, so the default probe is used (avoid to have another global declaration for the default probe later in the config, I am not sure how the config files are parsed, it may or may not create a conflict, I can't be sure).
Later on you can see part of the menus created for the CiscoRTTMonEchoICMP Probe and the EchoPingHttp probe, where the probe is declared per target host.
If there is anything else you want to ask feel free to do so, or check the reference on the documentation.
I hope this helps,

Subject: [smokeping-users] Two probe types for one host

Hi,

Is possible to add two probe types (fping and dns for example) to one host and how to do it? I see only different probes for different hosts in examples.
