NAME

       smokeping_config - Reference for the SmokePing Config File

OVERVIEW

       SmokePing takes its configuration from a single central configuration file.  Its location
       must be hardcoded in the smokeping script and smokeping.cgi.

       The contents of this manual is generated directly from the configuration file parser.

       The Parser for the Configuration file is written using David Schweikers Config::Grammar
       module. Read all about it in Config::Grammar.

       The Configuration file has a tree-like structure with section headings at various levels.
       It also contains variable assignments and tables.

       Warning: this manual is rather long. See smokeping_examples for simple configuration
       examples.

REFERENCE

   GENERAL SYNTAX
       The text below describes the general syntax of the SmokePing configuration file.  It was
       copied from the Config::Grammar documentation.

       '#' denotes a comment up to the end-of-line, empty lines are allowed and space at the
       beginning and end of lines is trimmed.

       '\' at the end of the line marks a continued line on the next line. A single space will be
       inserted between the concatenated lines.

       '@include filename' is used to include another file.

       '@define a some value' will replace all occurences of 'a' in the following text with 'some
       value'.

       Fields in tables that contain white space can be enclosed in either "'" or """.
       Whitespace can also be escaped with "\". Quotes inside quotes are allowed but must be
       escaped with a backslash as well.

   SPECIFIC SYNTAX
       The text below describes the specific syntax of the SmokePing configuration file.

   *** General *** (mandatory section)
       General configuration values valid for the whole SmokePing setup.

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       owner (mandatory setting)
           Name of the person responsible for this smokeping installation.

       imgcache (mandatory setting)
           A directory which is visible on your webserver where SmokePing can cache graphs.

       imgurl (mandatory setting)
           Either an absolute URL to the imgcache directory or one relative to the directory
           where you keep the SmokePing cgi.

       datadir (mandatory setting)
           The directory where SmokePing can keep its rrd files.

       dyndir
           The base directory where SmokePing keeps the files related to the DYNAMIC function.
           This directory must be writeable by the WWW server. It is also used for temporary
           storage of slave polling results by the master in the master/slave mode.

           If this variable is not specified, the value of "datadir" will be used instead.

       pagedir
           Directory to store static representations of pages.

       piddir (mandatory setting)
           The directory where SmokePing keeps its pid when daemonised.

       sendmail
           Path to your sendmail binary. It will be used for sending mails in connection with the
           support of DYNAMIC addresses.

       offset
           If you run many instances of smokeping you may want to prevent them from hitting your
           network all at the same time. Using the offset parameter you can change the point in
           time when the probes are run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or
           alternatively as 'random'. I recommend to use 'random'. Note that this does NOT
           influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data acqusition is initiated.
           The default offset is 'random'.

       smokemail (mandatory setting)
           Path to the mail template for DYNAMIC hosts. This mail template must contain keywords
           of the form <##keyword##>. There is a sample template included with SmokePing.

       cgiurl (mandatory setting)
           Complete URL path of the SmokePing.cgi

       mailhost
           Instead of using sendmail, you can specify the name of an smtp server and use perl's
           Net::SMTP module to send mail (for alerts and DYNAMIC client script). Several comma
           separated mailhosts can be specified. SmokePing will try one after the other if one
           does not answer for 5 seconds.

       snpphost
           If you have a SNPP (Simple Network Pager Protocol) server at hand, you can have alerts
           sent there too. Use the syntax snpp:someaddress to use a snpp address in any place
           where you can use a mail address otherwhise.

       contact (mandatory setting)
           Mail address of the person responsible for this smokeping installation.

       display_name
           What should the master host be called when working in master/slave mode. This is used
           in the overview graph for example.

       syslogfacility
           The syslog facility to use, eg. local0...local7.  Note: syslog logging is only used if
           you specify this.

       syslogpriority
           The syslog priority to use, eg. debug, notice or info.  Default is info.

       concurrentprobes
           If you use multiple probes or multiple instances of the same probe and you want them
           to run concurrently in separate processes, set this to 'yes'. This gives you the
           possibility to specify probe-specific step and offset parameters (see the 'Probes'
           section) for each probe and makes the probes unable to block each other in cases of
           service outages. The default is 'yes', but if you for some reason want the old
           behaviour you can set this to 'no'.

       changeprocessnames
           When using 'concurrentprobes' (see above), this controls whether the probe
           subprocesses should change their argv string to indicate their probe in the process
           name.  If set to 'yes' (the default), the probe name will be appended to the process
           name as '[probe]', eg.  '/usr/bin/smokeping [FPing]'. If you don't like this
           behaviour, set this variable to 'no'.  If 'concurrentprobes' is not set to 'yes', this
           variable has no effect.

           Default value: changeprocessnames = yes

       tmail
           Path to your tSmoke HTML mail template file. See the tSmoke documentation for details.

       changecgiprogramname
           Usually the Smokeping CGI tries to log any possible errors with an extended program
           name that includes the IP address of the remote client for easier debugging. If this
           variable is set to 'no', the program name will not be modified. The only reason you
           would want this is if you have a very old version of the CGI::Carp module. See the
           installation document for details.

           Default value: changecgiprogramname = yes

       linkstyle
           How the CGI self-referring links are created. The possible values are

           absolute
               Full hostname and path derived from the 'cgiurl' variable

               <a href="http://hostname/path/smokeping.cgi?foo=bar">

           relative
               Only the parameter part is specified

               <a href="?foo=bar">

           original
               The way the links were generated before Smokeping version 2.0.4: no hostname, only
               the path

               <a href="/path/smokeping.cgi?foo=bar">

           The default is "relative", which hopefully works for everybody.

           Default value: linkstyle = relative

       precreateperms
           If this variable is set, the Smokeping daemon will create its directory hierarchy
           under 'dyndir' (the CGI-writable tree) at startup with the specified directory
           permission bits. The value is interpreted as an octal value, eg. 775 for rwxrwxr-x
           etc.

           If unset, the directories will be created dynamically with umask 022.

           Example: precreateperms = 2755

   *** Database *** (mandatory section)
       Describes the properties of the round robin database for storing the SmokePing data. Note
       that it is not possible to edit existing RRDs by changing the entries in the cfg file.

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       step (mandatory setting)
           Duration of the base operation interval of SmokePing in seconds.  SmokePing will
           venture out every step seconds to ping your target hosts.  If 'concurrent_probes' is
           set to 'yes' (see above), this variable can be overridden by each probe. Note that the
           step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change
           the step parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow
           convert them.

       pings (mandatory setting)
           How many pings should be sent to each target. Suggested: 20 pings. Minimum value: 3
           pings.  This can be overridden by each probe. Some probes (those derived from
           basefork.pm, ie. most except the FPing variants) will even let this be overridden
           target-specifically. Note that the number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they
           are originally generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have to
           delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.

       This section also contains a table describing the setup of the SmokePing database. Below
       are reasonable defaults. Only change them if you know rrdtool and its workings. Each row
       in the table describes one RRA.

        # cons   xff steps rows
        AVERAGE  0.5   1   1008
        AVERAGE  0.5  12   4320
            MIN  0.5  12   4320
            MAX  0.5  12   4320
        AVERAGE  0.5 144    720
            MAX  0.5 144    720
            MIN  0.5 144    720

       column 0
           Consolidation method.

       column 1
           What part of the consolidated intervals must be known to warrant a known entry.

       column 2
           How many steps to consolidate into for each RRA entry.

       column 3
           How many rows this RRA should have.

   *** Presentation *** (mandatory section)
       Defines how the SmokePing data should be presented.

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       template (mandatory setting)
           The webpage template must contain keywords of the form <##keyword##>. There is a
           sample template included with SmokePing; use it as the basis for your experiments.
           Default template contains a pointer to the SmokePing counter and homepage. I would be
           glad if you would not remove this as it gives me an indication as to how widely used
           the tool is.

       charset
           By default, SmokePing assumes the 'iso-8859-15' character set. If you use something
           else, this is the place to speak up.

       The following sections are valid on level 1:

       +overview (mandatory section)
           The Overview section defines how the Overview graphs should look.

           The following variables can be set in this section:

           width (mandatory setting)
               Width of the Overview Graphs.

           height (mandatory setting)
               Height of the Overview Graphs.

           range
               How much time should be depicted in the Overview graph. Time must be specified as
               a number followed by a letter which specifies the unit of time. Known units are:
               seconds, minutes, hours, ddays, weeks, years.

           max_rtt
               Any roundtrip time larger than this value will cropped in the overview graph

           median_color
               By default the median line is drawn in red. Override it here with a hex color in
               the format rrggbb. Note that if you work with slaves, the slaves medians will be
               drawn in the slave color in the overview graph.

           strftime
               Use posix strftime to format the timestamp in the left hand lower corner of the
               overview graph

       +detail (mandatory section)
           The following variables can be set in this section:

           width (mandatory setting)
               How many pixels wide should detail graphs be

           height (mandatory setting)
               How many pixels high should detail graphs be

           loss_background
               Should the graphs be shown with a background showing loss data for emphasis
               (yes/no)?

               If this option is enabled, uptime data is no longer displayed in the graph
               background.

           logarithmic
               should the graphs be shown in a logarithmic scale (yes/no)

           unison_tolerance
               if a graph is more than this factor of the median 'max' it drops out of the unison
               scaling algorithm. A factor of two would mean that any graph with a max either
               less than half or more than twice the median 'max' will be dropped from unison
               scaling

           max_rtt
               Any roundtrip time larger than this value will cropped in the detail graph

           strftime
               Use posix strftime to format the timestamp in the left hand lower corner of the
               detail graph

           nodata_color
               Paint the graph background in a special color when there is no data for this
               period because smokeping has not been running (#rrggbb)

           The detailed display can contain several graphs of different resolution. In this table
           you can specify the resolution of each graph.

           Example:

            "Last 3 Hours"    3h
            "Last 30 Hours"   30h
            "Last 10 Days"    10d
            "Last 400 Days"   400d

           column 0
               Description of the particular resolution.

           column 1
               How much time should be depicted. The format is the same as for the age  parameter
               of the Overview section.

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++loss_colors
               In the Detail view, the color of the median line depends the amount of lost
               packets. SmokePing comes with a reasonable default setting, but you may choose to
               disagree. The table below lets you specify your own coloring.

               Example:

                Loss Color   Legend
                1    00ff00    "<1"
                3    0000ff    "<3"
                1000 ff0000    ">=3"

               column 0
                   Activate when the number of losst pings is larger or equal to this number

               column 1
                   Color for this range.

               column 2
                   Description for this range.

           ++uptime_colors
               When monitoring a host with DYNAMIC addressing, SmokePing will keep track of how
               long the machine is able to keep the same IP address. This time is plotted as a
               color in the graphs background. SmokePing comes with a reasonable default setting,
               but you may choose to disagree. The table below lets you specify your own coloring

               Example:

                # Uptime      Color     Legend
                3600          00ff00   "<1h"
                86400         0000ff   "<1d"
                604800        ff0000   "<1w"
                1000000000000 ffff00   ">1w"

               Uptime is in days!

               column 0
                   Activate when uptime in days is larger of equal to this number

               column 1
                   Color for this uptime range.

               column 2
                   Description for this range.

       +charts
           The SmokePing Charts feature allow you to have Top X lists created according to
           various criteria.

           Each type of Chart must live in its own subsection.

            + charts
            menu = Charts
            title = The most interesting destinations
            ++ median
            sorter = Median(entries=>10)
            title = Sorted by Median Roundtrip Time
            menu = Top Median RTT
            format = Median RTT %e s

           The following variables can be set in this section:

           menu (mandatory setting)
               Menu entry for the Charts Section.

           title (mandatory setting)
               Page title for the Charts Section.

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
               The following variables can be set in this section:

               menu (mandatory setting)
                   Menu entry

               title (mandatory setting)
                   Page title

               sorter (mandatory setting)
                   sorter for this charts sections

               format
                   sprintf format string to format curent value

       +multihost
           Settings for the multihost graphs. At the moment this is only used for the color
           setting. Check the documentation on the host property of the target section for more.

           The following variables can be set in this section:

           colors
               Space separated list of colors for multihost graphs

               Example: colors = ff0000 00ff00 0000ff

       +hierarchies
           Provide an alternative presentation hierarchy for your smokeping data. After setting
           up a hierarchy in this section. You can use it in each tagets parent property. A drop-
           down menu in the smokeping website lets the user switch presentation hierarchy.

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
               Identifier of the hierarchie. Use this as prefix in the targets parent property

               The following variables can be set in this section:

               title (mandatory setting)
                   Title for this hierarchy

   *** Probes *** (mandatory section)
       The Probes Section configures Probe modules. Probe modules integrate an external ping
       command into SmokePing. Check the documentation of each module for more information about
       it.

       The following sections are valid on level 1:

       +/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
           Each module can take specific configuration information from this area. The jumble of
           letters above is a regular expression defining legal module names.

           See the documentation of each module for details about its variables.

           The grammar of this section is dynamically modified based on its name.

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
               You can define multiple instances of the same probe with subsections.  These
               instances can have different values for their variables, so you can eg. have one
               instance of the FPing probe with packet size 1000 and step 300 and another
               instance with packet size 64 and step 30.  The name of the subsection determines
               what the probe will be called, so you can write descriptive names for the probes.

               If there are any subsections defined, the main section for this probe will just
               provide default parameter values for the probe instances, ie.  it will not become
               a probe instance itself.

               The example above would be written like this:

                *** Probes ***

                + FPing
                # this value is common for the two subprobes
                binary = /usr/bin/fping

                ++ FPingLarge
                packetsize = 1000
                step = 300

                ++ FPingSmall
                packetsize = 64
                step = 30

           Dynamical grammar changes for example instances of this section:

           AnotherDNS: (See the separate module documentation for details about each variable.)
               The following new variables are valid:

               forks
                   see above

                   Default value: forks = 5

               offset
                   see above

   *** Targets *** (mandatory section)
       The Target Section defines the actual work of SmokePing. It contains a hierarchical list
       of hosts which mark the endpoints of the network connections the system should monitor.
       Each section can contain one host as well as other sections. By adding slaves you can
       measure the connection to an endpoint from multiple locations.

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       probe (mandatory setting)
           The name of the probe module to be used for this host. The value of this variable gets
           propagated

           This variable dynamically modifies the grammar based on its value.

       menu (mandatory setting)
           Menu entry for this section. If not set this will be set to the hostname.

       title (mandatory setting)
           Title of the page when it is displayed. This will be set to the hostname if left
           empty.

       remark
           An optional remark on the current section. It gets displayed on the webpage.

       alerts
           A comma separated list of alerts to check for this target. The alerts have to be setup
           in the Alerts section. Alerts are inherited by child nodes. Use an empty alerts
           definition to remove inherited alerts from the current target and its children.

       slaves
           List of slave servers. It gets inherited by all targets.

       menuextra
           HTML String to be added to the end of each menu entry. The "{HOST}" entry will be
           replaced by the host property of the relevant section. The "{CLASS}" entry will be
           replaced by the same class as the other tags in the manu line.

       parents

       The following sections are valid on level 1:

       +/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
           Each target section can contain information about a host to monitor as well as further
           target sections. Most variables have already been described above. The expression
           above defines legal names for target sections.

           This section is recursive: it can contain subsection(s) with the same syntax.

           The following variables can be set in this section:

           probe
               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

               This variable dynamically modifies the grammar based on its value.

           menu
           title
           alerts
               Comma separated list of alert names

               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

           note
               Some information about this entry which does NOT get displayed on the web.

           email
               This is the contact address for the owner of the current host. In connection with
               the DYNAMIC hosts, the address will be used for sending the belowmentioned script.

           host
               There are three types of "hosts" in smokeping.

               1.  The 'hostname' is a name of a host you want to target from smokeping

               2.  The string DYNAMIC. Is for machines that have a dynamic IP address. These
                   boxes are required to regularly contact the SmokePing server to confirm their
                   IP address.
                    When starting SmokePing with the commandline argument --email it will add a
                   secret password to each of the DYNAMIC host lines and send a script to the
                   owner of each host. This script must be started periodically (cron) on the
                   host in question to let smokeping know where the host is curently located. If
                   the target machine supports SNMP SmokePing will also query the hosts
                   sysContact, sysName and sysLocation properties to make sure it is still the
                   same host.

               3.  A space separated list of 'target-path' entries (multihost target). All
                   targets mentioned in this list will be displayed in one graph. Note that the
                   graph will look different from the normal smokeping graphs. The syntax for
                   multihost targets is as follows:

                    host = /world/town/host1 /world/town2/host33 /world/town2/host1~slave

           remark
           rawlog
               Log the raw data, gathered for this target, in tab separated format, to a file
               with the same basename as the corresponding RRD file. Use posix strftime to format
               the timestamp to be put into the file name. The filename is built like this:

                basename.strftime.csv

               Example:

                rawlog=%Y-%m-%d

               this would create a new logfile every day with a name like this:

                targethost.2004-05-03.csv

           alertee
               If you want to have alerts for this target and all targets below it go to a
               particular address on top of the address already specified in the alert, you can
               add it here. This can be a comma separated list of items.

               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

           slaves
               The slave names must match the slaves you have setup in the slaves section.

               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

           menuextra
               HTML String to be added to the end of each menu entry. The "{HOST}" entry will be
               replaced by the host property of the relevant section. The "{CLASS}" entry will be
               replaced by the same class as the other tags in the manu line.

               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

           parents
               After setting up a hierarchy in the Presentation section of the configuration file
               you can use this property to assign an entry to alternate hierarchies. The format
               for parent entries is.

                hierarchyA:/Node1/Node2 hierarchyB:/Node3

               The entries from all parent properties together will build a new tree for each
               hierarchy. With this method it is possible to make a single target show up
               multiple times in a tree. If you think this is a good thing, go ahead, nothing is
               stopping you. Since you do not only define the parent but the full path of the
               parent node, circular dependencies are not possible.

           hide
               Set the hide property to 'yes' to hide this host from the navigation menu and from
               search results. Note that if you set the hide property on a non leaf entry all
               subordinate entries will also disapear in the menu structure.  If you know a
               direct link to a page it is still accessible. Pages which are hidden from the menu
               due to a parent being hidden will still show up in search results and in alternate
               hierarchies where they are below a non hidden parent.

               Default value: hide = no

           nomasterpoll
               Use this in a master/slave setup where the master must not poll a particular
               target. The master will now skip this entry in its polling cycle.  Note that if
               you set the hide property on a non leaf entry all subordinate entries will also
               disapear in the menu structure. You can still access them via direct link or via
               an alternate hierarchy.

               If you have no master/slave setup this will have a similar effect to the hide
               property, except that the menu entry will still show up, but will not contain any
               graphs.

               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

               Default value: nomasterpoll = no

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++/[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/
               This section is recursive: it can contain subsection(s) with the same syntax.

                   This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is
                   specified here.

   *** Alerts ***
       The Alert section lets you setup loss and RTT pattern detectors. After each round of
       polling, SmokePing will examine its data and determine which detectors match. Detectors
       are enabled per target and get inherited by the targets children.

       Detectors are not just simple thresholds which go off at first sight of a problem. They
       are configurable to detect special loss or RTT patterns. They let you look at a number of
       past readings to make a more educated decision on what kind of alert should be sent, or if
       an alert should be sent at all.

       The patterns are numbers prefixed with an operator indicating the type of comparison
       required for a match.

       The following RTT pattern detects if a target's RTT goes from constantly below 10ms to
       constantly 100ms and more:

        old ------------------------------> new
        <10,<10,<10,<10,<10,>10,>100,>100,>100

       Loss patterns work in a similar way, except that the loss is defined as the percentage the
       total number of received packets is of the total number of packets sent.

        old ------------------------------> new
        ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>20%,>20%,>=20%

       Apart from normal numbers, patterns can also contain the values * which is true for all
       values regardless of the operator. And U which is true for unknown data together with the
       == and =! operators.

       Detectors normally act on state changes. This has the disadvantage, that they will fail to
       find conditions which were already present when launching smokeping. For this it is
       possible to write detectors that begin with the special value ==S it is inserted whenever
       smokeping is started up.

       You can write

        ==S,>20%,>20%

       to detect lines that have been losing more than 20% of the packets for two periods after
       startup.

       If you want to make sure a value within a certain range you can use two conditions in one
       element

        >45%<=55%

       Sometimes it may be that conditions occur at irregular intervals. But still you only want
       to throw an alert if they occur several times within a certain amount of times. The
       operator *X* will ignore up to X values and still let the pattern match:

         >10%,*10*,>10%

       will fire if more than 10% of the packets have been lost at least twice over the last 10
       samples.

       A complete example

        *** Alerts ***
        to = admin@company.xy,peter@home.xy
        from = smokealert@company.xy

        +lossdetect
        type = loss
        # in percent
        pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>20%,>20%,>20%
        comment = suddenly there is packet loss

        +miniloss
        type = loss
        # in percent
        pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
        comment = detected loss 3 times over the last two hours

        +rttdetect
        type = rtt
        # in milliseconds
        pattern = <10,<10,<10,<10,<10,<100,>100,>100,>100
        comment = routing messed up again ?

        +rttbadstart
        type = rtt
        # in milliseconds
        pattern = ==S,==U
        comment = offline at startup

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       to (mandatory setting)
           Either an email address to send alerts to, or the name of a program to execute when an
           alert matches. To call a program, the first character of the to value must be a pipe
           symbol "|". The program will the be called whenever an alert matches, using the
           following 5 arguments (except if edgetrigger is 'yes'; see below): name-of-alert,
           target, loss-pattern, rtt-pattern, hostname.  You can also provide a comma separated
           list of addresses and programs.

       from (mandatory setting)
           who should alerts appear to be coming from ?

       edgetrigger
           The alert notifications and/or the programs executed are normally triggered every time
           the alert matches. If this variable is set to 'yes', they will be triggered only when
           the alert's state is changed, ie. when it's raised and when it's cleared.  Subsequent
           matches of the same alert will thus not trigger a notification.

           When this variable is set to 'yes', a notification program (see the to variable
           documentation above) will get a sixth argument, raise, which has the value 1 if the
           alert was just raised and 0 if it was cleared.

           Default value: edgetrigger = no

       mailtemplate
           When sending out mails for alerts, smokeping normally uses an internally generated
           message. With the mailtemplate you can customize the alert mails to look they way you
           like them. The all <##keyword##> type strings will get replaced in the template before
           it is sent out. the following keywords are supported:

            <##ALERT##>    - target name
            <##WHAT##>     - status (is active, was raised, was celared)
            <##LINE##>     - path in the config tree
            <##URL##>      - webpage for graph
            <##STAMP##>    - date and time
            <##PAT##>      - pattern that matched the alert
            <##LOSS##>     - loss history
            <##RTT##>      - rtt history
            <##COMMENT##>  - comment

       The following sections are valid on level 1:

       +/[^\s,]+/
           The following variables can be set in this section:

           type (mandatory setting)
               Currently the pattern types rtt and loss and matcher are known.

               Matchers are plugin modules that extend the alert conditions.  Known matchers are
               Avgratio, CheckLatency, CheckLoss, ExpLoss, Median, Medratio.

               See the documentation of the corresponding matcher module (eg.
               Smokeping::matchers::Avgratio) for instructions on configuring it.

           pattern (mandatory setting)
               a comma separated list of comparison operators and numbers. rtt patterns are in
               milliseconds, loss patterns are in percents

           comment (mandatory setting)
           to  Similar to the "to" parameter on the top-level except that  it will only be used
               IN ADDITION to the value of the toplevel parameter. Same rules apply.

           edgetrigger
               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

               Default value: edgetrigger = no

           mailtemplate
               This variable inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified
               here.

           priority
               if multiple alerts 'match' only the one with the highest priority (lowest number)
               will cause and alert to be sent. Alerts without priority will be sent in any case.

   *** Slaves ***
       Your smokeping can remote control other somkeping instances running in slave mode on
       different hosts. Use this section to tell your master smokeping about the slaves you are
       going to use.

       The following variables can be set in this section:

       secrets (mandatory setting)
           The slave secrets file contines one line per slave with the name of the slave followed
           by a colon and the secret:

            slave1:secret1
            slave2:secret2
            ...

           Note that these secrets combined with a man-in-the-middle attack effectively give
           shell access to the corresponding slaves (see smokeping_master_slave), so the file
           should be appropriately protected and the secrets should not be easily crackable.

       The following sections are valid on level 1:

       +/[-_0-9a-zA-Z.]+/
           Define some basic properties for the slave.

           The following variables can be set in this section:

           display_name (mandatory setting)
               Name of the Slave host.

           location
               Where is the slave located.

           color (mandatory setting)
               Color for the slave in graphs where input from multiple hosts is presented.

           The following sections are valid on level 2:

           ++override
               If part of the configuration information must be overwritten to match the settings
               of the you can specify this in this section. A setting is overwritten by giveing
               the full path of the configuration variable. If you have this configuration in the
               Probes section:

                *** Probes ***
                +FPing
                binary = /usr/sepp/bin/fping

               You can override it for a particular slave like this:

                ++override
                Probes.FPing.binary = /usr/bin/fping

               The following variables can be set in this section:

               /\S+/
