Hi,

If you can create a script which is able to pull the desired information, then you can create the "EXE/Script Advanced Sensor", to monitor the script in PRTG. You'll find more information here.

Hi,

there is written: .exe, .dll or batch file, VBScript, PowerShell

Java generates a .jar. That is why I have the doubt. What can you tell me? have you done it with a .jar ?

Hi,

PRTG has no build-in sensor for this. As PRTG offers a few interfaces to run custom scripts as sensors, you might be able to create a custom sensor to monitor your Java applications. Maybe you can open jar files with Powershell. If you can open this jar in Powershell, you can create a script and use this script in the mentioned sensor.
