Powershell Custom Sensor

Votes:

0

Hi.

I have a Problem with a Custom Powershell Sensor. Version: 15.1.15.2021

I added a testfile "test.ps1" to PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXEXML.

Content: Write-Host "<prtg>" "<result>" "<channel>name</channel>" "<value>1</value>" "</result>" "</prtg>" Exit 0

If I add a sensor, I get the following error: XML: Structural error in xml file, 1 open items. -- JSON: Das zurückgelieferte JSON entspricht nicht der erwarteten Struktur (Invalid JSON.). (Code: PE231)

Can you help me?

What happens when you manually execute the script on your PRTG server?

Is running powershell scripts enabled on your PRTG server?

Execution-Policy is set to Unrestricted.

If I execute the script, I get the following content: <prtg> <result> <channel>name</channel> <value>1</value> </result> </prtg>

Can you try the following code:

Write-Host @" <prtg> <result> <channel>name</channel> <value>1</value> </result> </prtg> "@

Has Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted been executed in a 32 bit PowerShell with administrative privileges?

Hi.

I worked with Powershell x64. After i set the Executionpolicy to Unrestricted twice in x86 it worked.

Many Thanks
