Hi, we have a piece of kit that can HTTP POST on state change.(alarm).

I have set this to POST to PRTG, which is working fine.

What I can't work out how to do, is how to setup a notification to alert when a POST comes in. Is this possible?

Hello,

Thank you very much for using PRTG. May I ask, how exactly do you monitor this device? With which sernsor(s)?

best regards.

Hi,

I've setup a HTTP Push Data Advanced BETA sensor on the local probe, which my device can HTTP POST to on alarm. What I want to be able to do is generate a state alarm when this message that gets HTTP POSTed changes.

You can cause the sensor to go into error state by pushing an error-tag (instead of a channel result value):

              <prtg>
              <error>1</error>
              <text>Your error message</text>
              </prtg>

For the details, please see your very own PRTG under "Setup"->"PRTG API"->"Custom Sensors".

Best regards,
