Hello Sara,

Thank you very much for your contact.

Do I understand you correctly, that for instance an uptime sensor is created on the very same device that already has one uptime sensor? Are both sensors the same sensor type or is it the 'Windows System Uptime' and the 'SNMP System Uptime' sensor?

Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks Sebastian

consider I have a 3750 Cisco switch.I added SNMP Traffic sensors Manually a month ago. Now when I Run Generic Auto Discovery on thids device I see two sensors for a sample interface like " (10111) --- G1/0/11 STD-R1 --- Traffic" One sensor has been created before by manually adding sensor and the second one appears after Auto Discovery? Is it a normal behavior?

Hello Sara,

Thank you very much for your response.

I can see that your PRTG version is at least nine month old because it still runs the version without the Facelift. What version are you using in particular?

Thank you very much in advance.
