Hi
is there a way to change the default names of sensors? For example our Ping sensors are all named "0_PING - so whenever adding one it has to be renamed first.
I know that by selecting by type I can batch-rename all - but I think it'd be a nice feature if we could just preset the default names to values that fit our scheme better.
Thank you!

Hi Christian,
The best way would be to create one default device template where the names are as desired (01_Ping, 02_HTTP ...). Afterwards you can apply this device template to all new devices and the names will be kept. To change the names or to check if all names are correct within the device template, open the corresponding "*.odt" file on the PRTG Core Server under "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\devicetemplates\" and check for the "displayname=" attribute:
<create id="pingsensor" kind="ping" requires="ping" displayname="01_Ping">
Best regards.
