How to attache a file or get content of file using File Sensor?

Modified on 2025-06-10 13:59:51 +0200

We would like to monitor a file using file sensor, if a file exists then PRTG will notify/Alert with the attachement of that file.

Is there a way to attached a file using custom notification? or read the content of that file and place in the Alert Message?

Thanks.

The only way to do this would be to write a custom script to attach and send this file to an email. You could then use a notification that would run the script to send the file with the email as a notification. Custom Notifications
