Hello together,
we are currently looking for a monitoring system for our environment and PRTG is our favorite.
However, we have a requirement that I could not solve yet. We are currently backing up our servers with Windows Server Backup. This I would like to check over PRTG.
For this I just downloaded the custom sensor "EventlogReaderXML" and unpacked in the directory of the PRTS server "Custom Sensors \ EXEXML".
But I can not add the sensor in the PRTG system itself.
How is it possible to add a user-defined sensor into the PRTG and assign it to a device?
Kind Regards
Martin
