XML Custom EXE/Script Advanced Sensor does not work on windows 2012 R2

Votes:

Good afternoon.

PRTG Server Installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. Agent installed on Windows 2012 R2.

I am trying to adjust the sensor XML Custom EXE/Script Advanced - using a demo script. But it is not working. Writes No data since startup

Although, if the agent on Windows 2003 R2 there all works.

What can be done?

P.S. Some effects: now writes "This sensor has not received data for 8 minutes 23 seconds." and increasing.

Interestingly. If you intentionally damage the structure of the file, for example, write "<channel" instead of "<channel>", then begins to write the error "XML: XML Parser mismatch: Wanted </ channelDemo>, got </ result> - JSON: The returned json does not match the expected structure (Invalid JSON.). (code: PE231) "

Hi,
What happens when you execute the sensor manually from the commandline?
Do you get results there? What precise script are you using here?

Hi. Through the command line output everything correctly. In the setting of the sensor set "Write to file", check the contents of received files, everything is correct.
