Hi all,
we have been using PRTG for a few months now.
Is it possible to insert sensors from other devices into one device?
Let's take a Windows virtual server as an example. I would like to combine the data directly from the server (services, disk usage, etc.) with the virtualization data (used memory, utilization) in one object.
Another example is printers: toner levels from the printer and queue from the print server.
Check_mk calls this piggyback.
Thank you
Greetings
Robert Rosell

Hello Robert,
you can use the factory sensor to combine values from multiple different sensors into one. Also have a look here: https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/76000063617. Is this what you are looking for?
