Hi all,
- Setup PortState as Custom EXE/Script
- Select PortState.exe
- Entered the parameters:
-id=%sensorid -h=%host -p=34780 -pt=UDP
Once created, PRTG created 3 channels/status:
| Channel ID | Last Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Downtime | -4 | |
| Execution Time | 1 | 2,135 |
| Value | 2 | 4,270 |
From the channel, how do I know if the port is down?

Hi Sebastian,
PortState can be download from PRTGToolsFamily.com website (https://prtgtoolsfamily.com/downloads/download/565e76af-60d0-428b-8e7f-e79015a1e295).

Hi,
If the port can not be monitored properly the sensor will show an error message:
| The external .exe file or script has not returned a response. (code: PE087) |
Please find the developers regarding this custom sensor on our knowledge base here.
If you just want to figure out whether a port is closed or open, you can also check the native Port Sensor that comes with each PRTG installation.

Hi there,
where is PortState coming from? What resource does you use as it appears to be no native sensor.
My gut feeling would be if the port is closed, the script returns an error and so is the sensor. But as it is a custom one I can't tell that for certain.
Best,
Sebastian
