Hello,

I'm afraid such a sensor is not available in PRTG as a native sensor in the moment, it also may not be very likely to come. We would recommend to setup a script which runs as a Custom Script Sensor.

Best Regards.

Hi, thank you for the reply.

This is a very basic sensor for all network monitoring. why can't PRTG Developers can't create it?

Adding a custom script for this purpose won't allow to properly take advantage of the historic data with graph values as in the ping sensors.

How may I achieve what I need using a Custom Sensor with a script?

Thank you
