EXE/Script advanded PowerShell json invalide format

Hi, Here is my powershell snippet that I want to get on PRTG : return @{ 'prtg' = @{ 'result' = @( @{ 'channel' = $TaskList[0].Name 'value' = 42 } ) 'text' = "Sensor desc" } } When I convert this in json format here is my output :

{ "prtg": { "text": "Sensor desc", "result": [ { "channel": "Name", "value": 42 } ] } }

This format seems correct but i still have this error message : "XML: The returned XML does not match the expected schema. (code: PE233) -- JSON: The returned JSON does not match the expected structure (Invalid JSON.). (code: PE231)" Anyone ?

Hi Hyro,

You can review the API Documentation in PRTG over the Setup -> PRTG API -> Custom Sensors section.

For your result you need to put the value 42 in quotation marks. So it needs to be "42".

Hope this helps,

Eugen
