Float

NAME Float



SYNOPSIS

Generates a <Float></Float> XML tag for specifying whether a channel value should be represented as a floating

point number in a custom PRTG Network Monitor EXE/XML Sensor.





SYNTAX

Float [[-Value] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Float tag iIndicates whether a value should be represented as a floating point number. Default value is 0

(false).



If value is set to 1 (true) the number of decimal places to use can be controlled via the DecimalMode tag.

Regardless of the DecimalMode used, if a number does not contain a decimal point it will be displayed as a whole

number.



If you wish to display a custom number of decimal places, the DecimalMode tag can be ommitted. To specify a custom

number of decimal places, you must use the PRTG UI.



If Float is not enabled and a floating point number is specified in Value with any digit other than 0 after the

decimal point, the number will be displayed as 0 in PRTG.



As such, if you wish to display a float as an integer in PRTG you must cast it to an integer before passing it to

the Value function.





PARAMETERS

-Value <String>

The value to use. Either 1 (represent values as floating point numbers) or 0 (represent values as integers).



Required? false

Position? 0

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
