What's the batch response format for PRTG ?

Votes:

0

Hello,

I have a batch script used to get users connected to a RDS server. I use this command to talk with PRTG, but it does not suite.

ECHO "2:%COUNT%:Critical! Number of active sessions = %COUNT%"
EXIT

On my sensor the first parameter "2" is not taken into account, it should set the sensor in error.

And the message displays the following:

2:Error Number of active sessions = 2

The message is correct but why does it displays "2:"

Thanks for the answer.

Hello,

You just need to remove in your code " ". For example following code

echo 200:ok

will return 200 and the message ok. Please adjust your script in this way. For further detailed information about how to use custom sensors, please take a look in our manual here.

Kind regards

OK but I need to return the return code, the value calculated and a message, using variables.

Then what's the correct echo command ?

Hi,

in your case you need to add the exit code like the following: 

EXIT 2

Kind regards
