TOPIC about_SensorSettings SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes PRTG Sensor properties that can be used in conjunction with the Set-ObjectProperty and Get-ObjectProperty cmdlets. LONG DESCRIPTION PrtgAPI supports the retrieval and modification of dozens of Sensor Setting values in a reliable, typesafe manner. The following tables outline the properties that are currently supported/unsupported by PrtgAPI, as well as the setting values each property corresponds to within the PRTG Web Interface. For properties that are not currently supported, it is possible to interact with these values via the "Raw" cmdlet parameter sets. For more information, see the help pages of Get-ObjectProperty and Set-ObjectProperty In the tables below, the following keys are used to indicate typesafe support status. Yes : Supported Read-Only : Supports Get, and will never support Set No : Not currently supported Direct : Supports Get and Set, however can only be Get via direct requests GetDirect : Supports Get via direct requests, will never support Set This help topic describes properties that are specific to sensor objects only. For information about properties common to Sensors, Devices, Groups and Probes, see about_ObjectSettings | Access Rights | Get | Set | Description | | -------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | InheritAccess | Yes | Whether to inherit Access Rights | | Debug Options | Get | Set | Description | | -------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | DebugMode | Yes | How debug data should be stored | | Basic Sensor Settings | Get | Set | Description | | -------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | Yes | Name of the sensor | | ParentTags | Read-Only | Tags inherited from the parent object | | Tags | Yes | No | Tags applied to this object | | Priority | Yes | Priority of the sensor | | HTTP Specific | Get | Set | Description | | -------------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | Timeout | Yes | Timeout for HTTP requests | | Url | Yes | URL to monitor.
