Important notes
warning
Please check the channel limits in PRTG if they fit for your alerting.
warning
The sensor works only on SAP systems and not on e.g. DB standalone systems. If you want to exclude existing channels then you also need to hide those ones and disable the limits (under channel settings) otherwise they are still shown e.g. in the graph and you get an threshold error of the freespace percentage.
