Hi,

1. I set up a notification using Execute Program. The Parameters is: %probe %group %device %name %sensorid %status %down %message

2. The code of powershell script:

$outfile = "C:\PRTGtoZendesk\ha.txt"
for ($i=0; $i -lt 8; $i++) {
    $newline = "hello " + $args[$i] + "`n"
    Add-Content $outfile $newline
}

3. I selected "Send test notification", then opened the file "C:\PRTGtoZendesk\ha.txt". The result was:
hello %probe

hello %group

hello %device

hello %name

hello %sensorid

hello %status

hello %down

hello %message

So my question is: how can I transfer the values of the placeholders to the powershell script ?
Thanks.

Hi there,

Please note that the placeholders are resolved and transmitted according to their order. Therefore, you need to configure the same amount of parameters in you script as transferred:

Notification template: %probe %group %device %name %sensorid %status %down %message
Script: $para1 $para2 .....

Afterwards, the parameters are filled with the resolved placeholders.

Hi, The problem here is the values of %probe, %group, %device, ... are not transferred to the powershell script. Instead, it transfer the string "%probe", "%group", "%device", ... to the powershell script.

E.g. it should be "hello 1234" instead of "hello %sensorid" in the text file.

Hi,

In this case, how do you tried to test this connection? A test notification (triggered via the bell icon in PRTG), no placeholders are translated since no real values are provided by any device or sensor. For a real test, you can configure a state trigger in one sensor and then trigger a "Simulated Error" via the context menu of the Sensor.

Hi, It work now. I added single quotes to each parameter.
