Hi,
I would like to setup threshold conditions triggering a notification, not based on an explicit value, for 2 different cases :
- case 1 : detect sensor value is increasing
- case 2 : for a sensor sending back a string, trigger notification if a specific string is received
So, how could I setup the configuration to answer theses needs :
- if sensor value is increasing, then this triggers a notification sending
- if a sensor value is a string, trigger a notification for a specific string
Thanks a lot for your support.
Best regards

Dear ocella,
notifying on increasing values is not supported by PRTG. The SNMP Custom sensor has the Counter data type. This is the difference of the current value minus the last value, and the result over the time of the last scanning interval, so that you get a bandwidth. With a value above zero, the value has been larger than the last one. However Counters imply that the value only can increase and not decrease.
Regarding the string, which sensor type do you use here? PRTG processes only numbers as sensor channel data. For SNMP, there is a Custom String Lookup sensor. This allows you to map pre-defined strings to numerical value using a lookup.
