       Latency measurement using SSH. This generates Logfile mes-
       sages on the other Host, so get permission from the owner
       first!

       Supported probe-specific variables:

       forks
           Run this many concurrent processes at maximum

           Example value: 5

           Default value: 5

       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 acqusition 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 vari-
           able 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' sec-
           tion.)

           Example value: 300

       Supported target-specific variables:

       greeting
           Greeting string to send to the SSH Server. This will
           appear in the Logfile.  Use this to make clear, who
           you are and what you are doing to avoid confusion.

           Also, don't use something that is a valid version
           string. This probe assumes that the connection gets
           terminated because of protocol mismatch.

           Default value: SSH-Latency-Measurement-Sorry-for-this-
           logmessage

       interval
           The interval to be measured. One of:

           connect
               Interval between _c_o_n_n_e_c_t_(_) and the greeting string
               from the host.

           established
               Interval between our greeting message and the end
               of the connection because of Protocol mismatch.
               This is the default.

           complete
               From _c_o_n_n_e_c_t_(_) to the end of the connection.

           Default value: established

       mininterval
           Minimum interval between the start of two connection
           attempts in (possibly fractional) seconds.

           Default value: 0.5

       pings
           How many pings should be sent to each target, if dif-
           ferent 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
           Connect to this port.

           Default value: 22

       timeout
           Timeout for the connection.

           Default value: 5
