Hello Thiago,
we appreciate your contact.

You need to create an SSH script that PRTG will run on the target system and print that output to the console when it runs. This is the sensor:

You can find further details about the API for custom sensors on the following URL or within your PRTG's web-interface under Setup > PRTG API.

Best Regards,
