Modify a builtin sensor

Modified on 2025-06-10 21:32:26 +0200

Hi, I would like to modify a sensor that comes with PRTG. Is this possible? In particular I would like to duplicate the VMWARE_Datastore_SOAP-Sensor and add an additional value. My boss wants that the sensor shows the used space of a datastore in GB. By default the sensor only displays the free and the available capacity of a datastore.

I know I could use a formula-sensor but there are hundreds of datastores and I'm too lazy.

Dear audiocrush,

Actually, the workaround with the Sensor Factory Sensor is the only possible solution for this as you cannot modify our native sensors.

Best regards,
