Build native sensor

Modified on 2025-06-10 15:13:13 +0200

Hi,

I'd like to build a sensor that behaves like a native sensor. as an example, the win services sensor allows you to select from a dropdown list of services on the device the sensor is added to.

I dont want to use the custom sensors for this because i want other users to be able to intuitively add and select options as you would a native sensor.

How can i go about this please?

Regards

Hello there,

Thanks for the KB post.

I am afraid such a feature is not available in PRTG yet. As a workaround, if you want to add the custom sensors quicker, you may clone the sensor by drag-and-drop under the management tab.

Thanks.

With kind regards,
