I'd like to create a custom sensor that uses multiple channels.

Sample that I've found echoes some XML data that is correctly inserted into sensor history.

My question: What is the exact XML Schema of this output?

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm afraid there is no Schema to validate (This would require havein a XML Header and more).
Please see yourPRTGInstallation/api.htm#Tab7 for details on the EXEXML Sensor. Please fin also below a example of the output XML:

<prtg>
  <result>
    <channel>First channel</channel>
    <value>10</value>
  </result>
  <result>
    <channel>Second channel</channel>
    <value>20</value>
  </result>
</prtg>

Best regards

Thanks, I've also found this example.

<prtg>
   <result>
       <channel>Demo Minimum Example</channel>
       <value>3</value>
   </result>
   <result>
       <channel>Demo Disk Free</channel>
       <unit>Percent</unit>
       <mode>Absolute</mode>
       <showChart>1</showChart>
       <showTable>1</showTable>
       <warning>0</warning>
       <float>1</float>
       <value>38.4487</value>
   </result>
   <result>
       <channel>Demo Network Speed</channel>
       <unit>SpeedNet</unit>
       <volumeSize>MegaBit</volumeSize>
       <mode>Absolute</mode>
       <showChart>1</showChart>
       <showTable>1</showTable>
       <warning>0</warning>
       <float>0</float>
       <value>124487000</value>
   </result>
   <result>
       <channel>Demo Custom</channel>
       <unit>Custom</unit>
       <customUnit>Pieces</customUnit>
       <mode>Absolute</mode>
       <showChart>1</showChart>
       <showTable>1</showTable>
       <warning>0</warning>
       <float>0</float>
       <value>855</value>
   </result>
   <text>Demo values. OS: Windows_NT</text>
</prtg>

Is there any help for these extra fields? Like showChart, showTable, units and stuff?

Oh never mind, these fields are indeed described in the "Advanced EXE/Script Sensor" section.

Thanks
