How can I get a visible notification when a sensor goes down

down-sensor notification visible

I'm looking for a visible notification, like a flashing light, to inform me when a sensor goes down.

How can I accomplish this?

Blink(1) is the world’s best indicator light, designed to give you glanceable notice of anything on your computer or the internet.

With the PTF.Blink(1) application, you can now use your Blink(1) device in combination with your PRTG Network monitor installation.

PTF.Blink(1) will light up your Blink(1) to inform you on Down and Warning sensors.

PTF TrafficLight is an application that scans your PRTG Network Monitor installation for Down and Warning sensors and lights up the lights on a Cleware Traffic Light accordingly.

Just to second the Blink(1) suggestion. This is absolutely brilliant. I have one taped to the top of my monitor, when it unexpectedly turns red I know to check PRTG. The problem with alert emails is you get so many that you have to filter them somewhere and they get missed.

The PTF.Blink(1) application now supports a maximum of 4 Blink(1) devices.

Plugging them in an USB Hub will give a cool effect, taping the hub to the back of your monitor.
Each device can be set to monitor a combination of nodes in your PRTG device tree
