SNMP Sensor - How to configure for smoke detector output

Votes:

0

Hi All, I've been using PRTG for some time to monitor values from SNMP or other devices, works great. However I need to monitor some smoke detectors connected to an APC NetBotz appliance via SNMP v3.

It's all configured and I've used the SNMP Custom sensor to monitor the specific OIDs from the NetBotz. A value of 1 means the sensor is in smoke state, so has been triggered. A value of 2 means it is OK - No smoke detected.

Rather than showing the needle/performance style indicator, is it possible to show a green panel for OK (e.g. value is 2) or a red panel (e.g. value is 1) for smoke state somehow?
