Try %host. See What placeholders can I use with PRTG?

I recently updated PRTG8 to v9.1.4.1840. Since updating, %host returns 127.0.0.1 when used in a state trigger notification on a ping sensor. In v8, it would return the IP address of the device that the ping sensor was on. Is there a different placeholder I should be using for the IP of the device?

This can happen if the device (from which the notification originates) is directly under a probe, and not in a group under the probe (that would be the work-around in the moment). A task to fix this was opened (probably still this year).
