Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:
Remark |
Description |
---|---|
Credentials |
This sensor requires credentials for Redfish in settings that are higher in the object hierarchy. |
IPv6 |
This sensor supports IPv6. |
Performance impact |
This sensor has a very low performance impact. |
Lookups |
This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels. |
Redfish support |
Supporters of the Redfish standard include Dell, Eaton, Emerson, Fujitsu, HPE, Intel, Lenovo, NetApp, Supermicro, and VMware. |
Multi-platform probe |
You can add this sensor to a multi-platform probe. |

The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- logicaldisk
- redfish
- virtualdisk
- virtualvolume
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.
The information in the Redfish Specific settings reflects 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.

Virtual Disk Name |
The name of the virtual disk that this sensor monitors. |
Capacity |
The capacity of the virtual disk that this sensor monitors. |
RAID Level |
The RAID level of the virtual disk that this sensor monitors. |
Physical Disks Count |
The number of physical disks connected to the virtual disk that this sensor monitors. |
System Name |
The name of the system that the virtual disk belongs to. |

Primary Channel |
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, PRTG displays the last value of the primary channel below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor. You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab. |
Graph Type |
Define how this sensor shows different channels:
|
Stack Unit |
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above. Select a unit from the list. PRTG stacks all channels with this unit 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. In a cluster, PRTG stores the result in the PRTG data directory of the master node. |
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.
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.

Downtime |
In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status |
Physical Disks "Critical" |
The number of physical disks in the critical status This channel has a default limit:
|
Physical Disks "Offline" |
The number of physical disks in the offline status This channel has a default limit:
|
Physical Disks "OK" |
The number of physical disks in the OK status |
Physical Disks "Warning" |
The number of physical disks in the warning status This channel has a default limit:
|
Virtual Disk Status |
The virtual disk status
This channel is the primary channel by default. |
