I have a Powershell script that will install windows services onto a server and would like to automatically get this service added to the device on PRTG is there a way to do this via Powershell by either calling an API or using another method?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create new sensors via the API. You can however create a dummy sensor on a dummy device, pause it and use it to clone it to other devices. You can find the API-Description of cloning in your webinterface under "Setup > PRTG API > Object Manipulation".

Best regards.

Hello,

I have Powershell module that handles this and other things.

Have a look here. https://thedomainiown.wordpress.com/prtg-related/prtg-relatedprtg-admin-module-function-list/

Look at the functions called Add-prtgDevice and Add-prtgSensorToDevice2

As Dariusz said, the API cannot create a new sensor, but it can clone a sensor from a pool of dummy sensors
