I am using a HTTP XML/REST Value sensor against a json feed. Every so often something in the json response will cause PRTG to display the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." instead of grabbing the requested value.

The feed can be found at http://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/?json=1&include=id&count=1 I am grabbing the count_total value.

I ran the url through http://jsonlint.com/ and it says that the json is valid.

hello,

please exchange your XMLValue.exe in

C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Sensor System

for the one you can download here

and then please try again.

I deployed the executable. Everything seems to be working as expected.

When we updated PRTG, now to version 14.1.8.1371. The XML file was updated and this error returned. I deployed this executable again to the server and the error cleared up.

Am I going to have to do this every time there is a PRTG release?

Thanks
