Find CUSTOM sensors based on 'EXE/Script' field

Votes:

0

Is there a way to automatically find all CUSTOM sensors based on their underlying EXE/Script file (vbs/exe/dll etc.)? Or better yet, is there a way to create libraries based directly on this. My problem is I've got hundreds of custom sensors using a particular Exe and it's a nightmare if i want to change notifications for all these sensors. Currently, I'm making tags for them and creating libraries out of the tags. But in cases (5 in 300 for example) where a few of the sensors have wrong tags or not been tagged, there's almost no way to find out unless there's a mis-timed alert, usually in the middle of the night.

Hello,

thank you very much for using PRTG. I'm afraid currently such a search (to the field of the script/executable used by the Custom Exe Sensor) is not possible. It is a very good idea though, so we've put it on the wishlist. Please bear with us, we'll see if other users agree to this request here, to decide upon implementation.

best regards.
