PRTG Manual: Redfish System Health Sensor
The Redfish System Health sensor monitors the system health of a Redfish Scalable Platforms Management API (Redfish)-capable server.
Redfish System Health Sensor
For a detailed list and descriptions of the channels that this sensor can show, see section Channel List.
- Dutch: Redfish System Health
- French: État du système Redfish
- German: Redfish Systemzustand
- Japanese: Redfish システム正常性
- Portuguese: Funcionamento do sistema Redfish
- Russian: Работоспособность системы Redfish
- Simplified Chinese: Redfish 系统健康状况
- Spanish: Salud del sistema Redfish
- This sensor requires credentials for Redfish in settings that are higher in the object hierarchy.
- This sensor requires at least read permissions for the target system. Without sufficient permissions to a subsystem, the sensor will show the Down status.
- If you want to monitor Supermicro, then this sensor requires full administrator access.
- This sensor supports IPv6.
- This sensor has a very low performance impact.
- This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.
- Supporters of the Redfish standard include Dell, Eaton, Emerson, Fujitsu, HPE, Intel, Lenovo, NetApp, Supermicro, and VMware.
Basic Sensor Settings
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
Sensor Name |
Enter a name to identify the sensor. By default, PRTG shows this name in the device tree, as well as in alarms, logs, notifications, reports, maps, libraries, and tickets.
|
Parent Tags |
The tags that the sensor inherits from its parent device, parent group, and parent probe.
|
Tags |
Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically inherited.
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
|
Priority |
Select a priority for the sensor. This setting determines the position of the sensor in lists. The highest priority is at the top of a list. Choose from the lowest priority ( |
Redfish Specific
The information in the Redfish Specific settings reflect the status of the system at the time of sensor creation. If any setting changes after creation, the Redfish Specific settings do not reflect the change. Add the sensor anew to update the displayed settings.
Setting |
Setting |
|---|---|
Name |
The name of the system that this sensor monitors. |
Model |
The model of the system that this sensor monitors. |
Manufacturer |
The manufacturer of the system that this sensor monitors. |
Serial Number |
The serial number of the system that this sensor monitors. |
Asset Tag |
The asset tag of the system that this sensor monitors |
Sensor Display
Setting |
Setting |
|---|---|
Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, the last value of the primary channel is always displayed below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.
|
Graph Type |
Define how different channels are shown for this sensor:
|
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. All channels with this unit are stacked on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so. |

Result Handling |
Define what PRTG does with the sensor result:
|
This option is not available when the sensor runs on the hosted probe of a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance.By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click 
under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.
Scanning Interval
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Scanning Interval.
Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window
You cannot interrupt the inheritance for schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. The corresponding settings from the parent objects are always active. However, you can define additional schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. They are active at the same time as the parent objects' settings.
Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window.
Access Rights
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Access Rights.
Which channel units are available depends on the sensor type and the available parameters. If no configurable channels are available, this field shows No configurable channels.
Channel Unit Configuration
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Channel Unit Configuration.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.
