Does PRTG support '>' and '<' in Custom Performance Counter Paths?

Votes:

0

I'm adding some custom Perf Counter sensors, and a few of the counters have '>' and '<' in their names. Here's an example:

\[Category]\Responses <= 250ms

Putting that into PRTG doesn't work. I can monitor the counter in Perfomance Monitor, so I followed the steps here https://www.paessler.com/knowledgebase/en/topic/50673-how-can-i-find-out-the-names-of-available-performance-counters, and see that Windows encodes the '<' as &lt;

\[Category]\Responses &lt;= 250ms

I plugged that into PRTG and it still doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions?

Unfortunately this is not possible since the way that those <> symbols are translated automatically by PRTG changes them to [] since they are special HTML characters.
