Dear Afon,

the recommendation would be to use the new Rest Custom sensor. Does it work then?

If not, please check the web server output. Is it a valid XML?

Thank you for answer.

How can I add Rest Custom sensor? I don't find this sensor in the sensor list. Where I can download this sensor? How can I get it? I didn't find useful info about this topic. May you can describe the adding procedure of this sensor step by step?

Thanks.

Dear Afon,

the Rest Custom sensor requires PRTG 17.3.33. If you have an earlier version, please update PRTG.
