Error C# GetDynamicsSensorParamters pythonscript

[sebastien-salle]

What's going on?

Hello

I have an error when I try to retrieve the dynamic parameters of the sensor Advanced Python script.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks

• It wasn't covered by the wiki, I swear!
• I have tried doing some basic research on this issue but haven't been able to come up with anything. Please help!

If you use the GetSensorTypes method, do you see the pythonscript sensor listed?

[sebastien-salle]

I tried also but I have the same problem

[lordmilko]

What does that mean? What happens when you call the GetSensorTypes method?

[sebastien-salle]

Exactly the same error

[sebastien-salle]

sorry GetSensorType is functional I misread the answer

[lordmilko]

You are calling GetSensorTargets. If you call GetSensorTypes it will list all available types, and we'll be able to see if the pythonscript sensor type is in the list

[sebastien-salle]

yes i see pythonscript with GetSensorTypes

[lordmilko]

Can you enable request and response logging and provide the resulting output?

There will be a lot of output, you may need to obfuscate any personal information such as your server address, username and passhash

i have an error with logverbose

[lordmilko]

There was a typo on the wiki article; there should be a += after LogVerbose

[sebastien-salle]

Exception levée : 'System.InvalidOperationException' dans PrtgAPI.dll
Une exception non gérée du type 'System.InvalidOperationException' s'est produite dans PrtgAPI.dll
Cannot process query for sensor type 'pythonscript': sensor type 'pythonscript' is not valid.

[sebastien-salle]

I looked pythonscript is present

[lordmilko]

I can't see any reason this would be failing

What happens when you ask for the parameters of a different sensor type, such as exexml?

[sebastien-salle]

same error

[lordmilko]

PrtgAPI is source link enabled. Are you able to change the following two settings to enable SourceLink and then try stepping into the call to GetDynamicSensorParameters?

[lordmilko]

If sourcelink works, you should find the exception is thrown inside RequestParser.ValidateAddSensorQueryTarget, where you'll be able to inspect the contents of the types parameter, and compare it against parameters.OriginalType. There should be at least one type in the types list whose Id is pythonscript. There could be some weird formatting or something that is throwing things off

[sebastien-salle]

[lordmilko]

Yes, that's where the exception is thrown. We should be able to work backwards from here to see why it failed to find a matching sensor type. If you inspect the types parameter, do any of the items have an Id whose value is pythonscript?

[sebastien-salle]

yes with var types = client.GetSensorTypes().Where(t => t.Id.Contains("python") || t.Name.Contains("python")); pythonscript exist and tthe equivalent command in powershell works

[lordmilko]

We need to look at what's happening inside of PrtgAPI to understand why this isn't working. Thus, we need to inspect the types parameter that was passed to the ValidateAddSensorQueryTarget method as per the screenshot above
