Hello Daniel,

You can use the SSH Script Sensor to execute the script of your choice. You need to copy the script to the target host in the directory /var/prtg/scripts. You can find the required syntax on the Setup > PRTG API > Custom Sensors page.

The result needs to look like that: returncode:value:message, where the return code looks as follows:

0	OK
1	WARNING
2	System Error (e.g. a network/socket error)
3	Protocol Error (e.g. web server returns a 404)
4	Content Error (e.g. a web page does not contain a required word)

Kind regards,
Felix Saure, Tech Support Team
