Miscellaneous Information "Sensors"

Votes:

0

I'm not sure if this would be a new feature request or if something like this already exists. There are often times we have "misc" information about our devices that would typically go into a separate spreadsheet / configuration management tool that would be EXTREMELY valuable to have in PRTG. Items like...

- Serial Number - Connection ID - Purchase Date - Warranty Date etc...

I realize some of these can be gathered with an SNMP sensor...but what I think would be VERY valuable is to add a "notecard sensor" or some text document icon that would open a WIZIWIG editor (or even a simple text box would do) where we could add this misc information about the device. This would keep us in one place for most things...

...and this seems so simple, I'm guessing something like it is already in existence? If so, what feature is this?

Thanks! Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Did you already consider entering this information in the device's note tab?

Hi Jeremy,

I second what PRTGToolsFamiliy already wrote. Every object in PRTG (device, sensor, device-groups etc.) has a "Comments" tab which can contain whatever text you like to have there.

Kind regards.
