Sensor-specific parameters
| Parameter name | Possible values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minutes | 60 | Past minutes to check | |
| Objects | <object1>[,<object2>[,<object3>,...]] | * (all objects) | Filter for objects (* can be used as wildcard) |
| ObjectsAsChannels | false | true | false | Defines wether the sensor creates a separate channel for each object which is defined in the info Only objects selected without wildcard will produce separate channels, because PRTG cannot dynamically handle channels. |
| Subobjects | <subobject1>[,<subobject2>[,<subobject3>,...]] | * (all subobjects) | Filter for subobjects (* can be used as wildcard) |
| Users | <user1>[,<user2>[,<user3>,...]] | * (all users) | Filter for users (* can be used as wildcard) |
| Tcodes | <tcode1>[,<tcode2>[,<tcode3>,...]] | * (all transaction codes) | Filter for transaction codes (* can be used as wildcard) |
| Programs | <program1>[,<program2>[,<program3>,...]] | * (all programs) | Filter for programs (* can be used as wildcard) |
| Modes | <mode1>[,<mode2>[,<mode3>]] | (D = Dialog, B = Batch, I = Batch-Input) | * (all modes) | Filter for modes (* can be used as wildcard) |
| ExternalID | <id1>[,<id2>[,<id3>,...]] | * (all external IDs) | Filter for ExternalID (* can be used as wildcard) |
| ProblemClass | number | 1 - 4 (1 = Very Important, 2 = Important, 3 = Warning, 4 = Additional Information) | 4 (all problem classes are considered) | Filter for ProblemClass, show logs with ProblemClass less or equal as set. |
Channels
| Channel name | Description | Lookup file |
|---|---|---|
| Application Errors Total | Count of errors depending on the given filters | |
| <ObjectName> | Count of errors for this Object info Channel will only be created when parameter |
Important notes
Depending on the monitored system, the count of entries in the application log can be huge. Check sensor execution time at command line with option --time to get an estimation. Then you can maintain the sensor timeout setting in PRTG to avoid errors. If execution time is too long, decrease parameter “Minutes”. The sensor doesn’t have predefined limits.
Please check the channel limits in PRTG if they fit for your alerting.
