This article applies as of PRTG 20

Note: As of PRTG 20.4.63, PRTG comes with a native Soffico Orchestra Channel Health sensor out of the box.

Monitoring soffico Orchestra with PRTG

You can monitor your soffico Orchestra installation with the EXE/Script Advanced sensor from PRTG and a custom script. With the custom script, you can create a custom Orchestra Channel sensor. Orchestra uses scenarios, which you will also need for the complete integration into PRTG. You can request a scenario from soffico directly.

For individual interfaces, the custom Orchestra Channel sensor monitors the number of successful and faulty messages per channel. The sensor makes it possible to monitor important parameters of the integration engine and thus to integrate a central and important part of your medical infrastructure in PRTG.

Copy and Save the Files

Before you can create the custom sensors in PRTG, you need to save the files in the respective subfolders of the probe system's PRTG program directory. You can find the files in the OrchestraSensor project on GitLab or as direct download here.
