I did read on www:

https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/68227-which-sensors-will-you-remove-from-prtg-and-what-are-the-alternatives

that you will remove in future (2month) ado sql sensor from 16.x.25. When can I expect another version of ado sql sensor. I using this sensor and I must planing clear transition from my version of prtg to newest 16.x.23 and next 16.x.25.

I have 16.1.22.2252+ version of prtg. I can't use another sensor for firebird database and now I can't upgrade prtg to 16.x.23 because in this version you blocked adding new sensor ado sql.

Article Comments

The new ADO SQL sensor is planned to be released before in version 16.x.24. Even if it wouldn't be ready until version 16.x.25, you could still clone an existing ADO SQL sensor to another device. Those mentioned sensors will still work when already in place, you just wouldn't be able to create them newly through the Add Sensor dialogue or when doing a fresh install of PRTG with version 16.x.25 or greater.

Kind regards.

You can still clone the ADO SQL Sensors you already have and modify them after you upgraded.

I've installed Preview Version 16.2.24.3624+ today with the new ADO SQL v2 Sensor and get the following error now when using it against SQL Server 2012 An item with the same key has already been added.

Could my error be related to the following microsoft Knowledge Base article (for reporting server)?: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2997020
