Hi there,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create sensors/devices via the API of PRTG. You can just clone already available sensors/devices/groups. You can find the documentation about how to clone objects via the API and how to change the settings of the cloned objects in your webinterface under "Setup > PRTG API > Object Manipulation".

Best regards.

Hi there,

You can do this in the notification settings (Setup > Account Settings > Notifications) under "Execute Program". This is also described on the following sites:
