Only one channel in advanced sensor somewhy.

Votes:

0

Greetings! I have a sensor that monitors a state of RAID controller and Virtual disks. It makes output like this:

<prtg>
<result>
<channel>PERC Status</channel>
<value>0</value>
<channel>Virtual Disk sys</channel>
<value>0</value>
<channel>Virtual Disk bu</channel>
<value>0</value>
</result>  
</prtg>

The same i see with "Write exe results to disk" My problem is that i can see only one channel "PERC Status" in PRTG, there is no others at sensor's page and settings page. This is my first powershell sensor, there was not such a problem with .net sensors.

I'm very curious. What could be a possible reason of this?

Greetings! Thank you for your KB-post.

There's a slight syntax issue. Each <channel><value> should be enclosed by a <result> (you're only opening <result> at the top and closing it at the end, like the <prtg> tag), please refer to this example for the correct syntax.

Fore more information, see PRTG Manual: Custom Sensors.
