  1. Set Path $logpath = "
    $($DEVICE)\c$\Program Files\avs\var\clientlogs" cd $logpath
  2. Get Latest Log $logfile = gci *.log | sort LastWriteTime | select -last 1 | Select-object -Property Name
  3. Check Log $status = Select-String -Path $logfile.Name -Pattern "avtar Info <5314>:" | Foreach {$_.Line}

Hello Mr-x,

As a first step, please open the settings page of the sensor in PRTG and enable the option "Write sensor result to disk (Filename: "Result of Sensor [ID].txt")". The results will be written into the log file directory of the probe, where the sensor is configured:

  • C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (Sensors)

The ID of the sensor is part of the web browser URL and is also displayed on the sensor's overview page.

Best regards, Felix
