2 nas alternately connected

Modified on 2025-06-10 15:27:27 +0200

Hello,
For our backups, we use 2 NAS that we connect alternately. When # 1 is online, # 2 is offline. This allows us to always have a backup offline in case we fall victim to a cryptolocker.
We put the 2 NAS in PRTG but as there is always one which is offline, it appears in error. Is there a solution to couple the 2 NAS considering that:
- if 1 out of 2 NAS is online = OK
- if the 2 NAS are online = error
- if no NAS is online = error

Thank you

Hello,

It may be possible adding an additional factory sensor. Please also have a look at the "Define Sensor Status—status() Function"-section here.
Alternatively you can write a custom script to create a custom EXE sensor.
