$param = Get-Device -id 127399 | New-SensorParameters -RawType exexml -Target PSx64.exe

What's going on?

Im trying to add a sensor (exexml) with $param = Get-Device -id 127399 | New-SensorParameters -RawType exexml -Target PSx64.exe get-device -id 127399 | Add-Sensor $params

I get the param, but nothing happens no sensor will added.

If I try without -target $param = Get-Device -id 127399 | New-SensorParameters -RawType exexml ((((-Target PSx64.)))) the sensor will added but the wrong one with a wrong exefile

Hi @carsten0407,

When you do get-device -id 127399 | Add-Sensor $param -Verbose it displays the raw HTTP request PrtgAPI attempted to execute. It appears you have completely omitted this text. Can you please provide the verbose output with just the server, username and password redacted

Any updates?

carsten0407 commented 1 year ago

Strange, if I rename my wanted exefile to 1st place in alphabetical order it works. If not he always uses arcserve.exe Any ideas? 2023-07-07 08_33_22-Window

Hi @carsten0407,

Please be advised I have managed to reproduce this error and am investigating

lordmilko commented 1 year ago

I couldn't see anything immediately obvious in my investigation aside from the fact PRTG uses POST to execute addsensor5.htm (PrtgAPI uses GET). This has always been the case and worked without issue; it's possible PRTG have changed things in a recent version such that GET no longer works on this endpoint. A bit of investigation/work would need to be done to try and resolve this; I am currently having medical issues so don't have the time to investigate this at the moment. I'm unable to give any ETA as to when this might be resolved

Hi lordmilko,

take your time
