# Add your own targets that you will measure by appending them to the bottom of the targets file. 
# These will show up in a menu on the left of the generated web page. You add an entry starting with a + to create a top level entry, and subsequent lines with ++ that will show up as sub entries like so:

#        + My Company

#        ++ My Company's Web Server 1

#        ++ My Company's Web Server 2


#    Actual config requires a few extra lines, as below;


sudo vim /etc/smokeping/config.d/Targets
