Can you update the exe/script in Custom EXE/Script advanced sensor?

Votes:

Hi,

I want to ask if it's possible to update/chande the exe file you use for a custom exe/script advanced sensor? I have setup one sensor to run with my exe file. Then there were some changes to the exe file, so I replaced the old exe with the new version with same name in the ...\Custom Sensors\EXEXML directory. After that I get an error saying "File not found". Is there a way to modify your script/exe without having to recreate the sensor anew?

Many Thanks Ivan

Hi there,

This is only possible when the new EXE or Script file has the exact same name as the old one, otherwise PRTG is unable to find the correct file.

Best regards.
