This probe actually send a mail to a MX server and measure time it took. You can choose the sender and recipient address as well as the size of the mail.
Supported probe-specific variables:
- bodysize
-
Size of the mail to send in bytes. If set to 0, a default mail content will be set. Note that mail always contain From, To and Subject headers.
Example value: 1024
Default value: 0
- forks
-
Run this many concurrent processes at maximum
Example value: 5
Default value: 5
- from
-
Mail from address
Example value: test@test.com
This setting is mandatory.
- offset
-
If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe-specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General' section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data acquisition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
Example value: 50%
- step
-
Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. 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. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.)
Example value: 300
- subject
-
Subject of the mail
Example value: Test Smokeping
Default value: Test
- timeout
-
How long a single 'ping' takes at maximum
Example value: 15
Default value: 5
- to
-
Rcpt to address
Example value: test@test.com
This setting is mandatory.
Supported target-specific variables:
- pings
-
How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the global value specified in the Database section. 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.
Example value: 5
- port
-
Port of the SMTP server to reach
Example value: 25
Default value: 25
