I'm monitoring some IPs on Internet, so I want when I lose connection against those IPs send a traceroute to the IP. There's any way to do tha? I already try to trigger a Powershell script to do a trace and save the result in a text file but it doesn't works. Can you Help me?

Regards

Hello David,

To create a script which will do a traceroute that would be the solution I would suggested. What is not working here? Did you make sure that the PRTG user(which will run the script) has enough permissions to execute it and save the output to the desired location?

Kind regards

Hi David,

First you will need to check which user is running your PRTG server. Afterwards you will need to check the user and its permissions in Windows. If it's an AD user you will check there.

Kind regards
