Hi all,

You'll need a HTTP XML sensor for that:

  1. Create a HTTP XML/Rest Value sensor that points to
    http://<your-prtg-server>/api/table.xml?content=sensors&output=xml&columns=sensor&filter_status=5&username=prtgadmin&passhash=passhash
  2. Set the XML node to item
  3. Set the Sensor Value setting to Use the number of occurrences of the selected XML node or its children/siblings.
  4. Set the channel name to Down Sensors
  5. Hit continue

The sensor will then graph the down sensors and you can create a map item for it :)

I tried: it says that "doctype' is an invalid token. The correct token is DOCTYPE"

Sorry, my bad - the URL was wrong :( I've updated it in my previous post. Remember to set the passhash accordingly to the user (it can be found in the account settings).
