Report on channels, not on sensors

Votes:

1

Hello,

I would like to create a report on a specific channel of a sensor across my devices. However, I can only select sensors with all its channels. Is there any chance to filter down to the channels?

I don't want to create (=waste) additional sensors with the sensor factory for all my devices that I want to have the report for. PRTG already has queried the information. The data just needs to be shown in a report.

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

this is possible, just add the sensors manually to the report and then de-select the Channels you do not want to have in the report: Report

Hello, Thank you for the explanation, but I have hundreds of sensors of the same kind. I would have to make the mentioned setting in each sensor, one by one. I am rather looking for a way to create a report with data from channel X from sensor type Y.

I am very sorry, but that would be the only possible way.

Can you please add this as a feature request? Most of the sensors more or less are created automatically. It's sad that you have to touch each one of them again to create a report.

Thank you!

As there have been very few requests to this (the last one is over 2 years old), this has indeed not been implemented. Nor are there plans to implement this in the near future, due to very low request rate.
