Hello,

I'm currently evaluating PRTG and I started writing some Python scripts for scanning Log-Files.

It basically worked, but i want to enter an Addiotional Parameter in the Sensor's Settings:

LogFilePath='C:/Temp/'

which i want to use in Python via

data = json.loads(sys.argv[1]) path = data['LogFilePath']

I'm rather new to python, coming from .net/ WPF and I believe I'm somehow wrong with the syntax.

I would truely appreciate a hint in the right direction.

Thanks! Nikolaus

Hi there,

The Python parameters are passed to the script via the "params"-Parameter. This will look like this:

Data['params'].asString := 'myParam=myValue’;

To split them into an array you can use the following sample code:

data = json.loads(sys.argv[1])
prtg_perams = data['params']

perams = dict(x.split('=') for x in prtg_perams.split(','))

The parameters will be available in the "perams"-array.

Example to use them:

print(perams['myParam'])

Best regards.
