I use an XML Custom EXE/Script Sensor. In my sensor, I have a lot of channel. There is a way to "rebuild" the list of channel ?

I want to clear the list of channel on every run of my Custom Script.

Thanks !

Hello,

once a channel exists it cannot be removed. The channels of a sensors can't be rebuilt in that sense.

best regards.

If I can not rebuilt the channel, what I need to do ? I need to clone my sensor on every script run ?

Well, either keep the channels you already have, or use a new sensor.

Can I make that with the API of PRTG ?

You can clone an existing sensor via the API but that will also clone the current channels on that sensor.

Is there a way to recreate a custom sensor with the API?

Hi Sebastien

Create a new instance of your custom sensor and set it to pause before it runs. This way it will not create any channels. Next use the API to clone this sensor:

/api/duplicateobject.htm?id=id_of_sensor_to_clone&name=new_name&targetid=id_of_target_device

and use the API again to change settings for this cloned sensor.

Keep the original sensor paused and use it again the next time.
