Using Sensor Factory sensors
Sensor Factory sensors are mainly used to compute and summarize data from multiple sensors. They display the information in a single graph or data table. PRTG can individually provide this information for any particular sensor channel as an aggregated value, as a computational line based on simple arithmetic, or as a value defined by one of the functions available for Sensor Factory sensors.
You can add a Sensor Factory sensor to a device the same way you add any other sensor. Sensor Factory sensors can, however, include information derived from sensors that belong to different devices and so summarize the respective data.
Additional functions allow you to calculate the following values for single sensors or multiple sensors:
- Minimum and maximum values
- Average values
- Percentage values
You can also insert horizontal lines based on fixed values for visualization.
