Hello,
We have a HVC cluster we would like to monitor so we can see when new VMs are created. We have looked at the Hyper-V sensors and it does not look like any of these have the information we are looking for. What is the best sensor for this?

Hello
Thank you for contacting us
Please check if the vendor of your device offers any MIB files that you can import with our MIB-Importer (https://www.paessler.com/tools/mibimporter).
If so, you can monitor the target with the "SNMP Library Sensor" (https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/snmp_library_sensor.htm).
Here's a Knowledge Base Article that describes the setup of "SNMP Library Sensors": https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/76000041743 and there's also a video that shows how to: https://www.paessler.com/support/videos/prtg-advanced/snmp-custom-and-library-sensor
