Set ChannelSetting

[ClemensLasslesberger]

Hi

I Tried to set a channel Proberty with the API using smth like this.

Get-Sensor -Id ##### |Get-Channel -Id # |Set-ChannelSetting LimitsEnabled False
Get-Sensor -Id ##### |Get-Channel -Id # |Set-ChannelSetting ValueLookup eventlog

When I Try to change this it doesnt switch to the lookup values. Only if I open the channel in the gui and press ok or apply, it switches to the Lookup I specified. I Figured out that it has something to do with the DisplayLastValue setting..

Kind Regards and many thanks upfront

Hi @ClemensLasslesberger,

It seems when the ValueLookup is specified, PRTG requires it be specified in the form

<name>|<name>

PrtgAPI is not currently serializing it in this format. It appears that certain sensors (such as SNMP, which my Integration Test suite tests against) may not be as sensitive to this incorrect format, hence why this issue has not been detected.

Are you able to advise whether it works if you execute the following?

Get-Sensor -Id ##### |Get-Channel -Id # |Set-ChannelSetting ValueLookup "eventlog|eventlog"
