5 probes x 60 seconds works out to be 25% extra 'traffic' vs the default 20 x 300. Considering the tiny amounts of data we're actually talking about I really don't see that as a big problem. Even if I knocked 1 probe off and just ran 4 every 60 seconds, then that would actually work out as exactly the same number of probes as the default settings over any extended period of time. > Obviously if you store more finely-textured data you will need more > space on disc to store it. :) > > Disc space is so ridiculously cheap these days ... so that's never going to be a problem. ;) _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
