Hello, I want to create Sensors to get the result from Batch files. I get the error Response not wellformed (code:PE132)

Here is my Batch file

REM Returns four sensor channels with static values to standard OUT
REM Predefines limits for one channel
REM < and > must be escaped in command line scripts

Hello there, thank you for your reply.

What's the actual output of the script? Please run it interactively and pipe the output to a text file. mybat.bat > file.txt

Please share file.txt

Best Regards,
Luciano Lingnau [Paessler Support]

Hello and thank you for your reply. I'm afraid that that doesn't look very much like the expected output. There's a lot of additional text in the file. It needs to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<prtg>
<result>
<channel>Channel 1 (float)</channel>
<value>12.3456</value>
<float>1</float>
<unit>custom</unit>
<customunit>celsius</customunit>
</result>
<result>
<channel>Channel 2 (integer)</channel>
<value>42</value>
<limitmode>1</limitmode>
<limitmaxwarning>50</limitmaxwarning>
<limitmaxerror>60</limitmaxerror>
</result>
<result>
<channel>Channel 3 (lookup)</channel>
<value>1</value>
<valuelookup>prtg.standardlookups.exchangedag.yesno.stateyesok</valuelookup>
</result>
<result>
<channel>Channel 4 (delta)</channel>
<value>123456</value>
<mode>difference</mode>
<unit>bytesbandwidth</unit>
</result>
<text>The sensor's message</text>
</prtg>

As described here.

I encourage you to take a look into some previous KB-Posts for examples and working sensors:

Hello MolFr,
thank you for your reply.

That's more like it. The output is valid now. If the bat produces that output the sensor in PRTG will pick it up and work.

Best Regards,
Luciano Lingnau [Paessler Support]
