How do you change the pause lengths available for a sensor?

Votes:

at times we need to pause a sensor or device for longer than the 1 day in the drop down menu. Is there a way to change the pause durations in the menu or a way to enter a custom pause length?

Pausing a Sensor For x Minutes

You can use the PRTG API to pause a sensor for a custom value of minutes.

Sample code: Pause a sensor or object for x minutes:

/api/pauseobjectfor.htm?id=objectid&duration=x&username=myuser&password=mypassword

Prefix your PRTG web interface's IP address and replace objectid, x, myuser and mypassword accordingly.

Please see Introduction to the PRTG API Interface for more information (look for "Detailed HTTP API Documentation")
