Dear PRTG Community
We have created a custom Azure Sensor that we would like to use to monitor the Backups of our VMs. For this, we would like to use the Azure Credentials that we saved on the Device running the Sensor. But I don't know what parameters we can use to pass those credentials to the script. When using Windows we use the following parameters:
%host %windowsdomain %windowsuser %windowspassword

But how can I get the correct ones for Azure. I would need the variables for Tenant ID, Client ID, Client Secret & Subscription ID.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Hi there

It seems like there is no placeholder for the azure credentials. Therefore, you would need to enter them directly into your script.

Hi Moritz Thank you for your response. I also just found the following table: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensors#command_line

But what is the use-case of those credentials when I'm not able to use them on my sensors? Are they just for the built-in sensors?

Best regards

Yes, at the moment, these credentials are only for the native PRTG Sensors.
