Channel behavior in EXE XML sensor

Votes:

0

Will the EXE XML sensor add new channels after the first initialization of the sensor? Can a channel be removed once the sensor has been created?

Also, thank you very much for this new sensor type, it's very useful!

As for all other sensor types with dynamic channels, the EXE/Script (Advanced) sensor will create new channels automatically as soon as the return values contain a new channel name. "Old" existing channels of all sensors are always maintained. They cannot be deleted.

If you want to hide certain sensor channels from charts and tables, use the Display settings in a sensor's Channels tab.
