If the name contains angle brackets (
<>
), PRTG replaces them with braces (
{}
) for security reasons. For more information, see the Knowledge Base:
What security features does PRTG include?
This setting is for your information only. You cannot change it.
Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the
Spacebar
key, a comma, or the
Enter
key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically
inherited
.
It is not possible to enter tags with a leading plus (
+
) or minus (
-
) sign, nor tags with parentheses (
()
) or angle brackets (
<>
).
For performance reasons, it can take some minutes until you can filter for new tags that you added.
The sensor has the following
default tags
that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
wmiutctimesensor
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:
Discard result
: Do not store the sensor result.
Store result
: Store the last sensor result in the
\Logs\sensors
subfolder of the
PRTG data directory
on the probe system. The file name is
Result of Sensor [
ID
].Data.txt
. This setting is for debugging purposes. PRTG overwrites this file with each scanning interval.
In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node.
Primary Channel
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, the last value of the primary channel is always displayed below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.
You can set a different primary channel later by clicking
below a channel gauge on the sensor's
Overview
tab.
Graph Type
Define how different channels are shown for this sensor:
Show channels independently (default)
: Show a graph for each channel.
Stack channels on top of each other
: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
You cannot use this option in combination with manual
Vertical Axis Scaling
(available in the
channel settings
).
Stack Unit
This setting is only visible if you enable
Stack channels on top of each other
as
Graph Type
. Select a unit from the list. All channels with this unit are stacked on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.
For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section
You cannot add this sensor to the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance. If you want to use this sensor, add it to a remote probe device.
