Hi. I have a SNMP sensor that shows the status of the interface on the switch. In it I added 2 channels

  1. Admin Status (with lookup table) - interface status enabled or disabled
  2. Status (with a lookup table) - the status of the interface is there a link or not

I need to do this:
When "Up" is displayed in the "Admin status" channel, it means that the interface is enabled and you need to control the "Status" channel. if there is no link (Channel "Status" displays "Down"), then it will display an error. When "Down" is displayed in the "Admin status" channel, it means that the interface is off and the sensor should not go into Error when the "Status" channel is in "Down".

How can this be done in the PRTG?

Really, no one has a need for such functionality? PRTG developers can you have this functionality in your roadmap?

Hello Slamich,

Directly it is not possible to create a dependency between two channels, but you could use a Sensor Factory Sensor. With this sensor you can use information from existing sensors and do calculations or merge some data.

You can find more information about this sensor here.

Kind regards,
