Add Sensor to Device with PrtgAPI with Powershell

Modified on 2025-06-10 15:21:41 +0200

Hi, how to use the PrtgApi in Powershell to add a sensor to a device?

For example: I want to add a simple ping sensor that already exist in Powershell.

Can not find anything in the wiki. The cmdlet "new-sensor" only support the creation of the following sensor types: EXE/Script Advanced WMI Service HTTP Sensor Factory

maybe someone has an idea?
