Clone a EXExmlSensor to multiple devices

Votes:

0

Hi @ All,

I've wrote an EXExmlSensor based on Powershell. Thx to the Knowledebase Folks which helped me further. Now i should deploy this Sensor to around 500 Machines.

Is there any possibility to do this at once? Sure i can clone this sensor 500 times but i dont want to ;-). I've tested with an Template. But the Template does not enclose the EXExml Sensor. Now I have no more ideas how I can distribute the sensor.

Thank you for any assistance.

Björn

Hi there,

You can actually clone objects. The way how you do it is described in your PRTG webinterface under "Setup > PRTG API > Object Manipulation > Adding Objects". The basic call is: /api/duplicateobject.htm?id=ID-SENSOR&name=SENSORNAME&targetid=ID-TARGET-DEVICE&username=USER&passhash=PASSHASH(Setup > Account Settings > My Account > Show Passhash)
