Hi,

i'm trying to create a custom powershell scripts to integrate with MS teams, and i am running into a problem where in i want to find out the following details

 [string]$sensor= 'Windows CPU Load',
    [int]$sensorid= '5518',
    [string]$status='prtg_status',
    [string]$message='prtg_message',
    [string]$device='test',
    [string]$since='prtg_since',
    [string]$lastup='prtg_lastup',
    [string]$sensorURL='prtg_sensorurl',
    [string]$deviceURL='prtg_deviceurl',
    [string]$serviceURL='service_url'

i want to monitor for example any service , in this case, the windows cpu load on the server "test".

i am not sure what to enter in the $message, $since and rest of the above code. where can i find the details?

Hello there,

Thanks for your inquiry, we appreciate your contact regarding this matter!

Since a few versions MS Teams is integrated in our notifications. Please open the settings of a notification and scroll down to "Send Microsoft Teams Message". You can configure the notification there.

Please do not hesitate to ask further questions.

Kind regards,

Hi, i have added the notification and it is sending data to a teams channel but it is not displaying any parameters, just the name of the sensor and the device is correctly displayed, and rest like sensor status, since, device/service url do not show any data.

how do i correctly feed the data for those parameters?

That's strange, are you using that with a live notification or the notification test?

yes, i'm using that with a live notification, basically want to integrate it with Microsoft Teams.

all the prerequesites were done properly and i can see the notification in the teams channel but there is no valid data like if the device is up or down, etc is displayed.

This works actually with %sensor on %device is in a %status state! Details Current State %status Message %message Since %since Last up %lastup Sensor prtg_sensorurl Device prtg_deviceurl Management URL %serviceurl

Did you already try the custom content option? Latest version installed?

Hi Stephan,

This is what results with that line you wrote last:

I tested simply with the initial parameters provided in the guide:

-sensor '%sensor' -sensorID '%sensorid' -status '%status' -message '%message' -since '%since' -lastup '%lastup' -device '%device' -sensorURL '%linksensor' -deviceURL '%linkdevice' -serviceURL '%serviceurl'

and I get the following result:

Why not use the native MS Teams notifications? :)

Hi,

I am unsure where to locate this tbh. When accessing the Notifications, this is what I see https://i.imgur.com/ax7ZrwG.jpg

You'll need to create a new notification via Setup | Account Settings | Notification Templates. The option is named Send Microsoft Teams Message. It will then be available as a notification trigger.
