ValueLookup

NAME ValueLookup



SYNOPSIS

Generates a <ValueLookup></ValueLookup> XML tag for specifying the default value lookup of a channel in a custom

PRTG Network Monitor EXE/XML Sensor.





SYNTAX

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





DESCRIPTION

The ValueLookup tag specifies the default Value Lookup to use with the channel's value.



Value Lookups allows PRTG to replace a channel's numeric value with a textual representation. Sophisticated dials

can be created using Value Lookups allowing PRTG to show a system as being in a particular state.



Value Lookups are stored on the PRTG Core Server under C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PRTG Network Monitor\\lookups. Custom

lookups can be stored under the lookups\\custom subfolder, and then loaded via the Load Lookups option under Setup

-> Administrative Tools.



This tag will only be considered when the channel is initially created.

The name of a standard or custom lookup that has been installed on the PRTG Core.
