Map Lines - Can we tie them to a sensor?

Votes:

0

Lets say that on a map i have two routers that are connected by each other by two different VPN tunnels. PRTG monitors the ip address of each VPN tunnel interface on the remote router with a ping. Connection lines are used to represent the VPN tunnels on the map. It would be ideal if the connection line could be tied to the ping sensor for each of the VPN tunnel interfaces. If the ping is normal (green sensor) the line would be green. If the ping is unusual (orange sensor) the line would be orange. IF the ping is unresponsive (red sensor) the line would turn red.

Is this currently possible? It would make the mapping feature much more useful.

Dear kbystrak

You can use individual sensors, to have 1 line each. You can draw each line to the same target. The line color will always have two parts, indicating the status of each side. If just a ping fails, but the target device is still up, the line from the ping is red but will turn green on the way to the target.
