To add a new channel to the sensor, click the Enter Channel Name field, enter a name for the channel, and confirm with the Enter or Tab key. For some sensors, you can explicitly define the monitoring target in the sensor settings.Įnter a name for the channel. Usually, a sensor connects to the IP Address/DNS Name of the parent device. Choose from the lowest priority ( ) to the highest priority ( ). The highest priority is at the top of a list. This setting determines the position of the sensor in lists. The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor: It is not possible to enter tags with a leading plus ( +) or minus ( -) sign, nor tags with parentheses ( ()) or angle brackets ( ).įor performance reasons, it can take some minutes until you can filter for new tags that you added. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You cannot change it.Įnter one or more tags. This setting is for your information only. Shows tags that the sensor inherits from its parent device, parent group, and parent probe. For more information, see the Knowledge Base: What security features does PRTG include? If the name contains angle brackets ( ), PRTG replaces them with braces ( ) for security reasons. By default, PRTG shows this name in the device tree, as well as in alarms, logs, notifications, reports, maps, libraries, and tickets. You can change nearly all settings on the sensor's Settings tab after creation.Ĭlick the Settings tab of a sensor to change its settings.Įnter a name to identify the sensor. It only shows the settings that are required to create the sensor. The Add Sensor dialog appears when you manually add a new sensor to a device. Knowledge Base: How does the Business Process sensor calculate summarized sensor states?.This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.This sensor has a medium performance impact.This sensor does not officially support more than 50 channels.For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section Channel List.
