Hi all,

I'm currently deploying PRTG for my bachelors thesis and writing automation PowerShell scripts for it. I was wondering if it was possible to send out a notification when a device has high cpu, load,.. for x amount of minutes each day (which could lead to an underlying issue in software for example) without writing custom scripts for this. This is because my scripts automatically close a ticket (on an external ticketing tool) if the duration of the downtime was less than 10 minutes.

E.g. : Since monday server Y has has a load of 25.0 between 10:00 AM and 10:05 AM each day, if this issue persists to the next monday > send out a notification.

Is this possible? Or planned in a future release?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jens,

Not precisely tied to a certain date, but I would go with a so called Threshold Trigger. It checks the monitoring values (e.g. CPU load) and triggers a notification once the results reach a certain point. In combination with the "for at least x seconds" configuration, you might be able to achieve exactly what you need.
If the CPU values are higher than 50% for 600 seconds, trigger notification XY.

Good luck with your bachelors thesis.

Best,
Sebastian
