Hello, I have deployed EXE/Script Advanced sensor on PRTG server. It's run *.bat then Perl script. Everything is working fine, I get the result in the graph view with scanning interval 15min. But every day at 12am script stop working, with status of sensor "Warning" then "Down" and message: No "result" or "error" in XML response. After a while, the sensor goes "UP" and it works fine again until 12am. What could be the problem?

If you enable the setting to cache the result to disk, you can see the returned data for those midnight scans.

Let me know what the results are from those scans after midnight.

Ok, now can you send me one where it's working so I can compare the two of them?

Thanks for the help, I found out what the problem is. Files from source node, go with a delay of 2 hours and when it's midnight, the script searches for files for a new day, ignoring the folder the previous day
