Execute Linux service restart on sensor down

Modified on 2025-06-10 14:34:33 +0200

I want PRTG to execute a remote service restart or server restart when a sensor is down. For example when an HTTP sensor goes down and stays down for 5 minutes I like to restart the httpd service. Is this possible?

Hi,
you may use the Execute Program notification in addition to a script which triggers the restart of the service via plink. A detailed guide how a command can be executed remotely with plink can be found here.
