Hi, the #283647 (multiple probe instances) patch was indeed adopted upstream with a slightly different config syntax. I sent you (as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) a note about this, when we decided this with upstream. You can find the note at the end of #283647 - maybe it did not reach you for some reason?

As for the manpage, I'm working with upstream on a patch that will automate the probe documentation and examples generation, so except improvement soon.
