[smokeping-users] [BULK] Re: New probe speedtest

[Adrian Popa]

Hello Erik,

I looked through Smokeping.pm hoping to find it hardcoded, and I found a 
call to a function called ProbeUnit(). So, I added such a function in my 
probe that returns the value to be displayed (it's called automatically):

sub ProbeUnit($){
     my $self = shift;
     #TODO: We need to know if we are measuring bps or seconds - 
depending on measurement (or maybe on probe name).
     return "bps";
}

By the way, this remains a TODO with my speedtest probe - if you measure 
ping time you'll get bps as your axis :(. Suggestions welcome.
