Does PRTG continue to log and display sensor data if the configured timeout has been exceeded?

Votes:

0

For example, if I wanted an http sensor to change to down state (Red) if the request takes longer than 1 second, I would set the timeout to 1 second. My question is that whether the response times exceeding 1 second would be logged and viewable in the graphs/raw data. My goal is to be able to configure exact thresholds for which the sensor will go into down state (red), while still tracking the response/perf times when this threshold has been exceeded.

I seem to be getting inconsistent results in my own set-up where it alternates between showing 7 second response time (up state) to down state, where no response time is shown. This was configured with a 1 second timeout threshold.

Dear Philip,

when a Timeout-Setting is reached, then PRTG "cancels" the measurement for this scan and no value is recorded. We recommend using the Error-/Warning-Limits for this purpose: Sensor Channels Settings

Best Regards
