Add a custom sensor

Votes:

0

Hello together,

we are currently looking for a monitoring system for our environment and PRTG is our favorite. However, we have a requirement that I could not solve yet. We are currently backing up our servers with Windows Server Backup. This I would like to check over PRTG.

For this I just downloaded the custom sensor "EventlogReaderXML" and unpacked in the directory of the PRTS server "Custom Sensors \ EXEXML". But I can not add the sensor in the PRTG system itself.

How is it possible to add a user-defined sensor into the PRTG and assign it to a device?

Kind Regards Martin

This guide also applies to EXE/EXEXML sensors :)
