Hi,

I have a problem with my Custom sensor. I have to go to the Webpage of our company and take a screenshot. But I get the following error:

XML: Structural error in xml file, 1 open items. -- JSON: Das zurückgelieferte JSON entspricht nicht der erwarteten Struktur (Invalid JSON.). (Code: PE231)

I don't exactly understand why there is an error, because an other sensor that I made almost the same way works just fine. And the second question is where does PRTG saves my Screenshots?

Here is the code that I have:

page.onResourceReceived = function(response)

{

  // Taking a screenshot

  if(response.url === ''some URL address")

  {

    page.render("Screenshot.jpg");

  };

  // Status codes

  if(response.status >= 200 && response.status < 300)

  {

    errorVar = 0;

    errorText = "OK";

  };

  if(response.status >= 300 && response.status < 400)

  {

    errorVar = 1;

    errorText = "Warning";

  };

  if(response.status >= 400 && response.status < 500)

  {

    errorVar = 2;

    errorText = "Client error";

  };

  if(response.status >= 500 && response.status < 600)

  {

    errorVar = 3;

    errorText = "Server error";

  };

  var error = errorVar; 

  var text = errorText;
  

  // Defining the channels

  object = {

    prtg: {

      error: error,

      text: text,

      result:[

        { 
          channel: "Screenshot", 
          value: 0
        }

      ]

    }

  };

  object = JSON.stringify(object)

  console.log(object)

  phantom.exit();

}

So the response.status part of the code is just to see if there is an error and if the webpage "works" or not. The channel, well, I don't actually need it, but I put it anyway. As I did this normally in the command propt (without implementing it on the PRTG), it worked just fine (but the code was different, i.e. I didn't needed the "PRTG part".

Thanks and kind regards

Benjamin

Hi there,

Please activate the "Write EXE result to disk" option in the sensor's settings and post the log files (Result of Sensor XXX.Data.txt and Result of Sensor XXX.txt) located on the corresponding probe under "C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (Sensors)".

Best regards.

Hi there,

I assume that due to this line:

<http://phantomjs.org/bug-reporting.html> and file a bug report.

PRTG assumes that there is an XML result coming. Is it possible for you to suppress this error message?

Best regards.

Hi,

I think it might could be that, when I use in PhantomJS the function "page.onResourceReceived", it always (for example) prints twice the same result. So, for example, if I do it normally in my command prompt, and I want to see the resource url of some webpage, it will always print it twice. Could maybe this be the problem?

Hi Benjamin,

I am not sure if the duplicated result causes this, but as mentioned the error that PhantomJS prints might be the cause here. You could add a teststring to the console.log to check if this function is called twice.

Best regards.

Hi,

I must admit that I don't really understand what exactly this error is. I don't know what I should change.

Best regards, Benjamin
