Mode

NAME Mode



SYNOPSIS

Generates a <Mode></Mode> XML tag for specifying the mode of a channel in a PRTG Network Monitor EXE/XML Sensor.





SYNTAX

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





DESCRIPTION

The Mode tag specifies whether the channel should display Absolute values or Difference values. By default this

value is Absolute.



When a channel is configured to use Difference mode, in addition to the typical Last Value, Minimum and Maximum

statistics, PRTG will also display the "Last Value (speed)" of the channel, reflecting the difference between the

value emitted from the current and the previous scan. Difference mode is typically used in sensors that monitor

some type of flow, such as bandwidth sensors.



If channels specifying both Absolute and Difference are specified in a single channel definition, the Absolute

channels will simply omit their values from the "Last Value (speed)" column. By default values in the "Last Value

(speed)" will be displayed in terms of units per second. This can be changed by specifying the SpeedTime property.
