Consider the following remarks and requirements for this sensor:
Remark |
Description |
|---|---|
Performance impact |
This sensor has a very low performance impact. |
Limits |
This sensor has predefined limits for several metrics. |
Sensor creation |
PRTG automatically creates this sensor. You cannot add it manually. |
New UI and API |
This sensor is part of the new UI and API. For more information, see the Knowledge Base: I want to use the new UI and new API. What do I need to know? |
Basic Sensor Settings
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
- appserverhealthsensor
For more information about basic sensor settings, see section Sensor Settings.

Description |
|---|---|
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.
|
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. |
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.
Channel |
Description |
|---|---|
API Requests |
The number of API requests |
Average CPU Utilization (%) |
The CPU usage of the PRTG application server process (%) |
Core Messages |
The number of messages that the PRTG application server receives from the PRTG core server |
CPU Utilization of Garbage Collector (%) |
The CPU usage of the PRTG application server garbage collector (%) |
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. |
Dropped API Requests |
The number of API requests per second that were dropped due to timeouts
|
Free Memory (%) |
The free system memory of the PRTG application server system (%) |
Health |
The sums of the PRTG application server state as a value between 100% (healthy) and 0% (unhealthy). Investigate if values are frequently under 100%.
|
Heap Size (%) |
The heap size of the memory that the PRTG application server uses (%) |
Process Memory Usage |
The memory usage of the PRTG application server process |
Response Time |
The average response time of the new API |
Response Time 95th Percentile |
The 95th percentile of the response time of the new API |
Routines |
The number of concurrently running routines in the PRTG application server |
Sessions |
The number of active user sessions |
Stack Size (%) |
The relative stack size of the memory that the PRTG application server uses (%) |
