Channel Settings
Channel Settings
Depending on the sensor type the Channels tab allows you to select what data of a sensor is shown in graphs and tables.
For SNMP Traffic Sensors there are three channels:
Use the checkboxes to enable and disable a channel. Using the edit box on the right you can change a channel’s name.
For other SNMP sensor types the channels can not be edited.
For NetFlow and Packet Sniffer sensors you can edit and
enable/disable the protocol channels:
Use the checkboxes to enable and disable the display of a channel (data is still collected). Use the buttons to add, edit, or delete channels. Or sort them using the arrow buttons to the right.
See the section Protocol Setup for more details.
Log raw data (on the bottom right) captures data in a file in the CSV format. Bear in mind that this captures one entry per packet and, as such, the csv file grows very large. This is mainly to help in setting up and debugging configurations. Note: this file is stored in the folder c:\documents and settings\all users\prtg traffic grapher.
Note: You can only define 255 channels for one sensor. Deleting older channels from the channel list will NOT increase the amount of remaining slots available, because in the historic data the old channels still require their previously allotted slots.
