HTTP XML/REST Sensor with "Counter" mode.

Votes:

0

I would like to be able to use XML values as counter values with the possibility to configure a sensor in a "difference" mode. It was suggested july 22 2014 in an other post (60991-how-can-i-set-a-custom-xml-sensor-with-counter-mode) to include in the result of a custom EXE/XML script the following xml tag <mode>difference</mode>

Could there not be the same or similar functionnality for a HTTP XML/REST Sensor to allow PRTG to understand the answer to a request which answer cannot be modified.("This will tell PRTG to handle the value for this particular channel as counter")

counter xml xml-rest

Hello,

Unfortunately, this is not possible out of the box, sorry.

You can write your own script and use that script with the EXE/Script Advanced Sensor.
