PRTG sensor for monitoring manipulating Cisco switch

Modified on 2025-06-10 20:51:13 +0200

I am wanting to create a sensor that would check (via PING) to see that a PoE device is reachable. If not, I would like to perform an automatic shut/noshut on the port of the Cisco switch that device is connected to. Is this possible as a PRTG sensor?

Hello there,

If you can run the needed commands for shut/noshut by a script you can utilize this through an Execute Program Notification.

Kind regards,
