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.

i_round_blueYou can set a different primary channel later by clicking b_channel_primary below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.

Graph Type

Define how this sensor shows different channels:

  • Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
  • Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic.
    i_round_redYou cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).

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.

Inherited Settings

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 b_inherited_enabled under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.

i_square_cyanFor more information, see section Inheritance of Settings.

Channel List

i_round_blueWhich channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.

Channel

Description

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

Operability

The operability status

  • Up status: Auto Upgrade, Operable
  • Warning status: Degraded, Unknown
  • Down status: Accessibility Problem, Bios Post Timeout, Chassis Limit Exceeded, Config, Decomissioning, Disabled, Discovery, Discovery Failed, Equipment Problem, Fabric Connection Problem, Fabric Unsupported Connection, Identify, Identity Unestablishable, Inoperable, Link Activate Blocked, Malformed Fru, Not Supported, Peer Comm Problem, Performance Problem, Post Failure, Power Problem, Powered Off, Removed, Thermal Problem, Upgrade Problem, Voltage Problem

i_round_blueThis channel is the primary channel by default.

Presence

The connection status

  • Up status: Equipped, Equipped Not Primary
  • Warning status: Equipped Identity Unestablishable, Mismatch, Mismatch Identity Unestablishable, Missing,
  • Down status: Equipped With Malformed Fru, Inaccessible, Not Supported, Unauthorized
  • Unknown status: Empty, Unknown
