File content sensor, String not found

Modified on 2025-06-10 12:59:58 +0200

Hi, I'm trying to use the file content sensor on a windows server. The file contains only the word Online. The settings in the sensor are: Search String: Online Search method: simple Always transfer the whole file But I get always a String 'Online' not found Why is that so?

Cheers Florian

Hi Florian,

Please send me screenshots from the sensor's "Overview" and "Settings" tabs and also the file in question to do some testing on my end:
