How to set Sensor state based on # of channels that exceed thresholds

Votes:

0

I'm trying to work out whether it's possible to alter the behavior of the sensor alarms.

Ideally I want to be able to set a sensor into Warning or Down state based on the number of channels that have exceeded the thresholds set.

e.g.

sensor with 10 channels: 1-5 channels exceed threshold -> Warning >5 channels exceed threshold -> Down

Is this possible?

Hey Joe,

This is actually not possible in PRTG, I'm afraid. Once a single channel exceeds its defined threshold, the sensor will immediately turn into warning/error mode and trigger the defined notifications accordingly.
