Examples
In the following example, QAction 800 is executed for every row in table 800:
<Timer id="1" fixedTimer="true" options="ip:800,1;each:10000;pollingRate:30,5,5;qaction:800">
In the following example, a ping is executed for every row in table 1000 using IP found in columns idx 30:
<Timer id="4" options="ip:1000,30;each:3600000;pollingRate:15,3,3;threadPool:100;ping:rttColumn=28,timestampColumn=29,size=0,ttl=250,timeout=3000,type=icmp,continueSnmpOnTimeout=false;qactionBefore:14">
