Return codes does not effect prtg status

Votes:

0

Hello,

I wrote an custom sensor in C#. I want to create and alert, so I wrote the following statement:

Console.Write(Convert.ToInt64(3)+":" + failLocation);

This fairly works, except that the status bar in prtg is still green. Though the message I get is correct.

api c# custom-sensor

I solved it by myself :)

The solution is to use Exit.Enviroment(3);

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. It seems that your script returns the value:message for the sensor. To set the sensor into an error/warning state, please use the exit code of the script:

Value	Description
0	OK
1	WARNING
2	System Error (e.g. a network/socket error)
3	Protocol Error (e.g. web server returns a 404)
4	Content Error (e.g. a web page does not contain a required word)

best regards
