Oh, I think I got that as well. I'm not sure if it was a design decision or a bug, but if you create 'sub'-probes you can't use the parent any more.

I just went to double-check my config file and I have +FPing, ++FPing_default, ++FPing_1, etc., and I use ++FPing_default as my default under *** Targets ***.

Thank you for your support.  I'm going to give it a try.  :)

The probe defined right under the "*** Targets ***" clause is treated as the default probe for all hosts if you don't specify one. Explicitly specifying a probe for a host/host group is basically just an override.

The same logic is applied to pretty much everything in SmokePing's config file, by the way: any time you go from a one configuration directive to a 'child' one (e.g. +option to ++suboption), the child inherits all of the options of the parent unless you override them, and the child's children inherit the overridden settings unless you override them again.
