Time of Day Alerts

Votes:

0

I created a custom senson, in powershell, to monitor an Azure SQL instance, and report if it is not on the correct service plan.

For example, the database is scaled up during business hours to have 5 vCores, then scaled back to 2 vCores during off hours to save some cash. However we want to monitor and alert then the value is out range. I have the script running fine and was supplying an XML return, with limitmin and limitmax however they dont seem to update in PRTG when the time of day changes. Not sure if this is expected or what others are doing?

LimitMin and LimitMax are only considered upon channel creation, not at runtime. You'll need to modify these limits via the API, using PRTGapi :)
