Apply Zoom Service Status sensors and Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU sensors via device templates

If you want PRTG to create the sensors if they are included in a device template, you must remove the false_check requirement in the according device template file. Follow the steps below to do so:

Step 1: Create a device template

Step 2: Find and open the device template

  • Open the device template with a text editor and find the section that looks like the following:

<check id="false_check" meta="momo.paessler.sensor_name.false_check"/> <create id="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-00000000000}" kind="paessler.sensor_name" requires="false_check" displayname="Sensor name">

  • Here you can see, for example, the section for the Zoom Service Status sensor:

<check id="false_check" meta="momo.paessler.Zoom.false_check"/> <create id="{00000000-0000-0000-000-000000000000}" kind="paessler.Zoom.zoom_service_status_sensor.6" requires="false_check" displayname="Zoom Service Status">

Step 3: Delete false_check

  • Delete false_check from requires="false_check" so that it now looks like the following: requires="".

Step 4: Save the template

Step 5: Apply the template

  • You can now apply the device template in PRTG.
