I need to see a table or something with the number times (events) and hopefully their Start and ending time, a sensor had downtimes for example with a ping sensor. I can take the total of days or hours in a period a sensor has been down, but not the number of events.

This is specially usefull when I want to check how many times in a month an Internet Service provider has failed me or a server. What I'm doing right now is getting a monthly report and where I see red periods of time(downtime) I count them as +1, but I have to get a report from that day to see the specific hour when it became down and then UP, to detail that in a report I have to make, on several devices. may be a table with only the downtime events and the length of each on a period of time.

Article Comments

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. Please look into adapting a solution similar to the one in the followng KB-Article: "How can I create a report about the notifications, alarms and downtime of a sensor?". The Sensor Status History, on Reports with data table templates may also be an option.

best regards.

Thank you for your answer. So there is no way natively the PRTG can show me a table with only downtime data? the batch is a good alternative but if I need that info for 20 or more sensors it gets all mixed up and time-consuming to organize or separate.

There is no other inbuilt way indeed. Sorry. It should be possible to create separate files with the batch-"method" though by using the Sensor ID (with the placeholder) in the filename though.
