How to filter only WMI sensors?

Votes:

0

I'd like to start an investigation by mapping all the sensors that use "WMI". Because I want to create one for "SNMP".

It will be more advantageous for me in terms of performance, since snmp it only takes the disk unit instead of all.

What to do to filter only WMI?

Hi Victor,
PRTG should display all WMI sensors with following call:

http(s)://YOURPRTG/sensors.htm?columns=objid,probe,device,name,type,checkbox&filter_type=@sub(WMI)&filter_type=@sub(Windows)

This list will contain all WMI based sensors and you edit them via Multi-Edit if needed.

Kind regards
