Thanks for your answer, but the problem is, that Arcserve has for every status a seperate OID. I want to know, if anybody has an idea how to monitor the state of the last Backup-Job in only one sensor.
I tried it with eventlog, but there i have the problem, that the last check-result isn't the last entry. Only the first result after an entry in the log is the notification given form Arcserve. The second check indicates "0" - so I can't see, if there was an problem with the backup.
Maybe you can have Arcserve send an email notification on a failed/incomplete job to a mailbox that PRTG is monitoring with the 'email count' sensor. I'm not sure off-hand if you can set up a PRTG notification to fire only when the value changes. If you can then that seems like it might work.
I also use Arcserve but never tried to monitor it with PRTG. I simply have Arcserve email me directly if a job fails or is incomplete.
