Placeholder for Notifications

Votes:

0

Hello PRTG community,

I want to hand over the windows credentials from PRTG to a vbs script using a notification. Perhaps I overlook it but I dont find it yet. The Placeholder %windowsuser -password, -domain seems only working for custom sensors but unfortunately not in notifications. I testet the Placeholder %Sensor and had no Problems to hand over the stored Sensor name. With %settings i only get the Query interval right of access (usergroups which can edit the sensor) maintenance window

Thanks in advance for any tips Regards Benjamin

Dear BenjaminHeidenreich,

such placeholders are not implemented, one of the reasons is that notifications can be triggered as a summary from multiple sensors with multiple devices, a resolution of such placeholders would not be possible in those cases. Another reason is low demand for such placeholders. Please understand that as we develop standard software, we mainly focus on standard use cases.
