I have created a Custom sensor as VB-Skript. It checks the modification date of a logfile on a remote systems and returns the message "OK" or "WARNING" with the following code:

IF a > b then
    wscript.echo "Warning"
    wscript.quit("1")
else
    wscript.echo "OK"
    wscript.quit("0")
endif

To access the logfile I use the following method:
Servername\c$\path\filename.ext

When I run the script directly it works fine. When I try to run it via PRTG it gives back the following message: Response not wellformed: "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\custom sensors\EXE\checkSyncServiceLog.vbs(35, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: File not found "

and the sensor is set to error.

What is wrong?

Hello,

most likely the PRTG Probe does not fine the file, as suggested by the error message. This can be an permissions issue, if the Probe Service does still run under the "LOCAL SYSTEM"-account which it does by default. You could then try running the Probe Service under an (domain) admins account.

best regards.
