Error stating probe - QoS Packet Scheduler Issue

Votes:

0

When I try to start a remote probe, I get the error message "Could not initialize Traffic Control API: Error reading interface list, make sure QoS Packet Scheduler is active for this interface."

probe qos traffic-control-api

Hello,

this message does not prevent the Probe Service from starting, this is only a message that due to the underlying OS (XP or 2003) a certain feature for the QoS-Sensor will not be available (which is to set the 'ToS'-value for this sensor's packets).

best regards.

The problem is, the remote probe shows disconnected, and will not monitor sensors that are on the probe.

Could you please forward us your system log files from this very probe for analysis via email to [email protected]? You will find the log files within the data directory as defined under the "Core Server" tab of the "PRTG Server Administrator" tool, or in the following default paths:

XP/2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (System)
Vista/2008/Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (System)

Please be aware that it might also be a 'V7' or a 'V8'-folder in which then the "Logs (System)"-folder resides. You can also use the option to upload the logs to our FTP-Server, using the button "Send Logs to Paessler..." on the tab "Logs" in the "PRTG Server Admin Tool".

The upload from the software requires a Ticket number? Can you generate a ticket number so I can upload them from there?

You can leave the Ticketnumber field empty if you do not have one so far.
