Votes:

0

Hey, our sensors get queried every 5 min. However, we want to change the interval, in which a sensor is queried, to 1 min. after it has reached an error state. When the sensor is in the state good again, the interval should be set up to 5 min again. Is this possible?

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Regarding what you would like to achieve, I recommend to create a notification template to execute the API call below by using the method Execute HTTP action: /api/scannow.htm?id=SensorID&username=PRTGUser&passhash=Passhash

Then, you have the possibility to execute the template every minute by configuring the trigger like this:


When sensor state is Down for at least 60 seconds, perform ScanSensor and repeat every 1 minutes


If you have questions, let us know.

Regards.
