[smokeping-users] New probe speedtest

[Adrian Popa]

Hello STR,

The Host is not used internally - you can set it to whatever you like.

I can see you're running tests every hour. In order to see data graphed, 
you need to wait for at least 2 polling intervals to complete, so you'd 
see data only in the third hour.

One more thing, smokeping is designed to drop data that is very large in 
value to prevent spikes from error readings. You can disable this by 
setting this in the overview section (see the readme):

|+overview max_rtt = 1000000000|
