Dear Support Team, Is it possible to applying threshold of a sensor, only in a specific time of day? Thank for your helps

Article Comments

Not officially, but PRTGapi (see my signature) may do this:

# Set the upper error limit of the "Total" channel of all WMI CPU Load sensors to 90
Get-Sensor -Tags wmicpu* | Get-Channel Total | Set-ChannelProperty UpperErrorLimit 90

PRTG Scheduler | PRTGapi | Feature Requests | WMI Issues | SNMP Issues

Kind regards,

Alternative - why don't you use this sensor: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/sensor_factory_sensor

What you do:

  • Pull the channel / data you need to alert on
  • set the limits as you need them
  • add a schedule to PRTG for when this sensor should be active
  • remove the alerts / limits on the source sensor
  • set the new created schedule to the new Sensor Factory Sensor

In the end - you create a sensor that has a specific schedule with the limits you need to be alerted on. This sensor does therefor only alert you in the specified time windows - while the real sensor will collect the data still for 24 hours - the Sensor Factory Sensor or in theory Business Sensor can help you limiting the time to alert you while being paused for most of the time.. as you requested..
