XML PE233/PE231 Error

[timracer]

Hi! I got XML: The returned XML does not match the expected schema. (code: PE233) — JSON: The returned JSON does not match the expected structure (No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page). (code: PE231)"" error. All group policies are been edited. What could be wrong?

Hi Tim,

I've not seen that error before.

Can you dig a little further into PRTG's sensor logs and see if there's a file there with some more useful debugging info?

Check out the folder C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs\sensors & sort by date modified.

Sorry, that i didn't mention before but there's no Logs folder. I've enabled Write result to disk in case of error but no any Logs folder, then I tried using "-debug" parameter but still no “New-OoklaSpeedTest-yyyyMMM.log” file in the same folder

In C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs\sensors just MomoCore.log MomoCore.log

[timracer]

this file is obsolete

[timracer]

Should I use any Windows credentials in the sensor settings?

[timracer]

I'm using prtg 22.3 on windows server 2012

OK, apparently there's a switch we need to throw first. Under Devices and the Sensor, in the Sensor's Settings, change "Result Handling" to "Store Result":

THAT will hopefully create a log file with a useful error message.

(I referenced that in the more detailed blog post, although it looks like the wording of the Sensor options has changed slightly since that was written. Have you seen that or are you just going on the ReadMe here on GitHub?)

In the meantime, what happens if you run the script from a PowerShell Window first? Whatever output that spits should better help us understand what's going wrong.

.\New-OoklaSpeedTest.ps1

Add the -AcceptGdpr switch if that's relevant to you.

Here is some log by prtg Result of Sensor 4286.Data.txt

Here's one more file Result of Sensor 4286.log

Ahhh. Bingo.

You don't have a clean version of the script. You have what looks like an HTML scrape of it.

Check this out: https://github.com/greiginsydney/New-OoklaSpeedTest.ps1/issues/4#issuecomment-745606893

Your other option is to use the "raw" button, which WILL give you a clean version to scrape.

I've created a new sensor with proper script file and now it returns just "error" Result of Sensor 4288.txt Result of Sensor 4288.log

[timracer]

Logfile New-OoklaSpeedTest-2022сен.log

[greiginsydney]

"Cannot read from socket" suggests a network problem. There's no response from Speedtest?

Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\custom sensors\EXEXML\" and run SpeedTest.exe

[timracer]

I don't know what happen,

Thank you for helping. If I wanna use server id 6386 where should I define this? In the sensor setting "Parameter" input like -ServerID=6386?

[greiginsydney]

The correct syntax for that is -ServerId nnnn.

Thank you!
