The sensor in PRTG makes sure that one process is working. But doesn’t alarm if there are 2 or more processes running in that same application. Please advice if there is a PRTG sensor that counts the number of application processes running. The condition is "IF the application is running more than 1 process it should alarm". Please let me know as soon as possible. Your help will be much appreciated.

This can be done with Custom Sensor ProcessCount.

This sensor counts the number of processes running on a computer. Using limits you can set the sensor to a warning or error stathe when the number of named processes exceeds your threshold.

The sensor takes the following parameters:

-n=   The name of the process to return the count for
-c=   Computer name or IP-Address of the pc running the process(es)
-u=   Optional Domain\Username of a user account that has access to the computer via WMI service
-p=   Optional Password or PassHash (*) of a user account that has access to the computer via WMI service

(*) A PassHash can be generated with the PassHash Tool
