Votes:

0

Using latest version 14.4.12.3510, adding a custom Sensor (sensor factory) to obtain a total of multiple devices and interfaces. this additionnal sensor is giving me my total as expected for my regional office. formula is :

#1:Total
Channel(3598,-1)+Channel(3599,-1)

Now i want to create another custom sensor in the central location with the total of the previous sensors. (total of total). I only specify one of the previous sensor to test my formula formula is :

#1:Total
Channel(3617,1)

system will not accept this formula and a message is displayed. THE VALIDATION OF THE DATA PROVIDED FAILED DUE TO THE FOLLOWING:<BR/><UL><LI>ERROR IN CHANNEL &QUOT;TOTAL[]&QUOT; (1) : TRYING TO USE AGGREGATION SENSOR &QUOT;QUEBEC PALAIS (TOTAL DU SITE)&QUOT; (&QUOT;3617&QUOT;) AS AGGREGATION SOURCE.</LI></UL><BR/>THE OBJECT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED.

Hello,

thank you very much for using PRTG. It's not possible to calculate Results of a Sensor Factory in another Sensor Factory Sensor. Please build the totals then with the results of the normal sensor types.

best regards.
