<Server Host [Port]>

The Server statement sets the server to send datagrams to.

The argument Host may be a hostname, an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. The optional second argument specifies a port number or a service name. If not given, the default, 8089, is used.

TimeToLive 1-255

Set the time-to-live of sent packets. This applies to all, unicast and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6 packets. The default is to not change this value. That means that multicast packets will be sent with a TTL of 1 (one) on most operating systems.

MaxPacketSize 1024-65535

Set the maximum size for datagrams received over the network. Packets larger than this will be truncated. Defaults to 1452E<nbsp>bytes, which is the maximum payload size that can be transmitted in one Ethernet frame using IPv6E<nbsp>/ UDP.

StoreRates true|false

If set to true, convert absolute, counter and derive values to rates. If set to false (the default) absolute, counter and derive values are sent as is.
