Dear Dan,

on devices created by the Auto-Discovery, PRTG tries to put such information into the "Comments"-tab and the location into the "Settings"-tab Location-field for the Geomaps. If this is not sufficient, then of course you can use Custom (String) Sensors. PRTG tries then only to graph response times, or exit values, but should 'save' the string result into the sensors 'Log'.

best regards.
