Migrating SSH sensor to Python sensor.

Hello.

Currently I have a number of SSH sensors which run a python script on the target host. For whatever reason there are a large number of paessh errors appearing as false positives so I want to move the execution of the sensor script from the target host to the PRTG server.

As the existing python script invoked by the SSH sensor works fine I would like to just run it on the PRTG server.

This would be no problem apart from the fact that the python script returns a string of the form required by the SSH sensor, namely returncode:value:message

If my understanding is correct, if I use the Python sensor then because it is classed as an 'Advanced' sensor then it cannot return the returncode:value:message format and I must use the (useless to me) Channel/Value where Value can only be either an integer or a float.

I guess I can rewrite the script in powershell and have it return returncode:value:message but I would rather not be forced to do that.

Please let me know if there is a way to have a python script run as if it were a EXE/BAT/CMD/VBS/PowerShell/SSH Sensor ... I can see no reason why this should not be allowed.

Thanks.
