several sensors insert in one graph in a map

Votes:

0

In the old PRTG Version 6 we have often worked with several different sensors from several devices together in only one graph. You cold see and compare them at the first view. Since Version 7 we don't find this funktion anymore. Currently we can take only one Sensor in every graph.

How can I use several sensors in only one graph in a map?

Dear SachsenMilch

The modern PRTG version are sensor-based and any graph can contain only input from one sensor. However, the Factory Sensor allows to combine inputs from other sensors. A factory sensor can also be used to render graphs, this way it is possible to get a graph with inputs from different sensor sources.

While the setup of the factory sensor is a bit complicated with the channel definition, the sensor is very flexible and offers computations as well.

A sample configuration could look like

#1:My first channel
channel(1001,1)
#2:My second
channel(1002,1)
#3:My sum channel
channel(1001,1) + channel(1002,1)
