netappcdotio Sensor param timeout

[schoenm1]

Describe the bug

It is not possible to add a new Sensor 'netappcdotio' with mandatory parameters. If param 'timout' is not given for 'New-sensorParemters' , I see following error: New-SensorParameters : Failed to process request for sensor type 'netappcdotio': sensor query target parameters did not include mandatory parameter 'timeout_'. It 'timeout' parameter ist given, 'New-sensorParemters' is working, but not the 'Add-Sensor'. Do I have to add 'timeout' param as -RawProperty and -RawValue? Not really sure if this is a bug...

Steps to reproduce

missing 'timeout' param -> not possible for New-SensorParameter

Additional context

No response

I believe normally the response returned from PRTG will contain any properties required to create the object (including any sensor query parameters you may have specified). Otherwise, you'd expect it to fail when PRTG tries to add the sensor itself

Can you try Unlock the parameters, add the missing parameter and see if it works then?

Hi @lordmilko This one is working

$device | New-SensorParameters -RawType netappcdotio -qp @{defaultlogin_="1";user_="";password_="";port_="443";timeout_="60";transporttype_="1"} -Target *
$sensor.unlock()
$sensor.timeout_="60"
$device | Add-Sensor $sensor

So this is a PRTG 'issue', that the param timout is not in the return value and must be added manually again with the unlock()?

[lordmilko]

Based on a quick perusal of the PrtgAPI source code I don't see anywhere where I would be manually adding in the sensor query parameters, however I'll have to check with another sensor type to see how it normally works. In the meantime, the above is certainly a workaround you can use for now

Thanks for you really fast reply! Yes, I can use this workaround. The netapp sensor are the first one I see where the question for credential are mandatory asked for in PRTG UI. I tested with netappcdotio + netappcdotaggr. For both 'timeout' is required for 'New-SensorParameters', but not set in return value.
