Hi
Can the Traceroute sensor's maximum hop count be tweaked? It maxes out at 30 hops, but one of our monitored devices is now 31 hops away. The sensor throws an error saying the host didn't respond, which isn't true.
Thanks - Simon

Hi Simon,
Copy the file TraceRoute.exe from the directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Sensor System
to the directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXE
Create an Exe / Script Sensor with the parameters
id=SensorID -t=target -mh=NumberOfHops
So it might look like this:
-id=%sensorid -t=%host -mh=40
This will allow you to raise the default values. There are additional switches for this sensor, simply start the .exe file to get a list of all available parameters.
Best regards, Felix

Hi Simon,
-id=%sensorid -t=%host -mh=40
