Any chance of building this functionality into PRTG based on uptime? I.e. If a switch reboots, a PRTG probe reads the uptime and correspondingly sends an SNMP set to enable sFlow again. This also applies to the 2610 series as well I believe.

Dear Adria,

it should be possible to do this yourself already:

• read the uptime from the switch using a SNMP Uptime sensor
• configure a Threshold Trigger on the System Uptime, so that if the uptime is below 300s (for example) a Notification will be triggered
• use a batch-script for this notification which will send the SNMP Set to the switch to enable sflow again.

Best Regards.

If you look that string, you can see that "-" sign is missing from front of D. I noticed the same error and seems that when you copy the string, it doesn't copy the whole line completely.

Could this sflow configuration be implemented into PRTG? I mean, why the PRTG doesn't do everything for us? :)
