I followed the instruction, but cant make text show properly. It shows Ok no matter value was set to negative or positive, and shows "There was no value provided ( text=this is a message ) (code: PE210)" without a giving value and sensor was marked as ERROR.

What should I do to make value/text working together? I need a return value to identify it is information, warning or error, and together with a human readable message. Please advise...

PRTG Manual: HTTP Push Data Sensor

Example: http://127.0.0.1:5050/XYZ123?value=0&text=this is a message

You are absolutely right. We're very sorry, but we accidentally used PRTG 14.2.10 for testing. This version is not published as stable yet, but it will hopefully only take a few weeks.

We hope this will help you and thank you very much for your feedback.
