Sensor name

Votes:

0

Hello,

Is it possible to display a sensor output value as a sensor name?

I'm using a custom SNMP String sensor to check firmware version on multiple devices, but I'd like the output value to be visible as a sensor title or below the title in the sensor box (instead of response time in ms)

Is that possible to achieve?

Thanks, Lucas

Dear Lucas

This is not directly possible, but you can show the string as part of the sensor message. Every view showing the sensor message then also shows that string. The sensor name however cannot be changed to the SNMP string.

(You could write a script which uses the API to first extract the sensor message and then changes the sensor name. That script could run as custom sensor. However this would involve some work and requires experience with the PRTG API.)
