Can you please confirm whether the sensor is created and resolved properly if you set the name of the sensor to be Base Sensor instead?
If you have a look at the fields available when you attempt to create a SNMP Library sensor in the PRTG UI, there is no "name" field available. This indicates the name will be dynamically generated from the parameters you specify; it's possible PRTG is creating the wrong sensor type because you specified a name.
If you had tried to create these parameters via dynamic sensor parameters you would see the default name is "Base Sensor", however because we have to select an oidlib think that's why we have to use custom parameters for this sensor type.

When I try to create a sensor with custom parameters below the state keeps giving: WARNING: 'Add-Sensor' failed to resolve sensor: object is still being created. Retries remaining: 3 Finally it times out with: Add-Sensor : Could not resolve object: PRTG is taking too long to create the object. Confirm the object has been created in the Web UI and then attempt resolution again manually
What i can see is that the sensortype is snmplibrary, but when the sensor is created and the type is determined with the command Get-Sensor the sensortype created is snmpcustomtable. I tried with fiddler filters to modify the sensortype in the get status request from snmplibrary to snmpcustomtable the issue is resolved and I can see the ID of the sensor created. When I modify the sensortype in the powershell script it does not create my sensor.
Can you fix the code so it can use a different type in the status get request that in the script or is there another alternative to this problem?
