Is it possible to monitor one Value of a website and display it as a channel? I already tried HTTP Advanced, but it only gives me the possibility it value is not found or is found. I also tried XML/REST but I cannot find a node to monitor.
Can someone help?

Okay, the value doesn't have values in Brackets. So do I need a custom script to monitor the values?
The html Code looks like this:

What I'd like to monitor is the following Value (Just the value in bold, nothing else): <td class="nowrap"><span class="verdana_11_bold">Angemeldete Benutzer (Maximum):</span></td> <td width="50%" class="nowrap">225 (225)</td>
Kind regards, Florian

That's correct, you need a custom script to monitor values like this, since PRTG can only extract text from HTML pages, no numerical values.

Not really, but it should work using Invoke-Webrequest and the following regex:
<td[^>]*>(\d+.\(\d+\))<\/td>
It will extract "225 (225)". Should be easy with PowerShell :)

This can be done with the HTTP Content Sensor, but the value
has to be within brackets, for example [21].
