Low-code plugin for the PRTG v1 HTTP API, indexing probes, groups, devices and sensors, with ten data streams and six out-of-the-box dashboards (estate overview, sites, and a perspective per object type). Notes on a few non-obvious choices, all confirmed against a live PRTG 26.3 instance: - Reads the `_raw` variant of every text column. PRTG's display columns carry markup — `message` is `<div class="status">OK</div>`, `lastcheck` appends `<span class="percent">[165 s ago]</span>`. - `table.json` OLE datetimes are UTC, so they convert directly. `historicdata.json` reports only server-local wall-clock text with no UTC equivalent, which is why the PRTG time zone is configurable and why that stream needs a post-request script. - `content=channels` HTML-escapes `lastvalue` where `content=sensors` does not, so only Sensor Channels decodes entities. - Sensor History averages hourly beyond seven days. Measured at the 5-minute default, a 30-day range on a nine-channel sensor unpivots to roughly 7 MB and exceeds the response size limit. - Sensor counts come back as empty strings rather than zero, hence the `Number(x) || 0` guards in System Status.

Inline comments:
In @.github/CODEOWNERS:
- Line 17: Update the PRTG CODEOWNERS pattern from plugins/PRTG/* to
/plugins/PRTG/ so `@Deenk` owns files recursively under the entire PRTG plugin
directory.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/logs.json`:
- Around line 48-55: Update the time computed field’s valueExpression to
interpret datetime_raw in the configured serverTimeZone before converting it to
ISO 8601, while preserving the existing OLE epoch offset and null handling for
nonpositive values. Keep the change scoped to the time conversion and align its
zone handling with filter_dstart and filter_dend.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/probes.json`:
- Around line 99-103: Update the statusText mapping in
plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/probes.json lines 99-103, groups.json lines 110-114,
devices.json lines 116-120, sensors.json lines 121-125, containerDevices.json
lines 128-132, and containerSensors.json lines 134-138 so status code 11 maps to
Not Licensed; add Not Licensed to unmonitored in each stream, then increment the
version in plugins/PRTG/v1/metadata.json.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/scripts/sensorHistory.js`:
- Around line 15-20: Update offsetAt to validate both the input instant and the
Date.parse result, returning null when either is non-finite; ensure
wallClockToUtc and parseWhen propagate or handle that null before calling
toISOString, preserving the existing successful conversion path.
- Around line 15-20: The locale-dependent date/time parsing must be replaced at
both sites. In plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/scripts/sensorHistory.js lines 15-20,
update offsetAt to use Intl.DateTimeFormat.formatToParts for explicit date and
time components, and return null when the computed offset is non-finite so
parseWhen remains safe. In plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/sensorHistory.json lines
22-29, construct sdate and edate as YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss from explicit formatted
parts instead of replace-based parsing.
- Around line 50-54: Update parseCoverage to preserve numeric zero by removing
the raw || '' fallback before string conversion; retain the existing percent
stripping, trimming, and null return for non-numeric values.
- Around line 12-13: Update the serverTimeZone interpolation in the TIME_ZONE
initialization to JavaScript-escape or serialize the resolved timezone value
before embedding it in the string literal, preventing quote-based script
injection while retaining the UTC fallback.
- Around line 31-48: Update parseWhen to prefer datetime_raw and convert its
OLE/Excel serial value using the existing logs.json conversion expression, while
retaining timezone handling. When datetime_raw is absent, parse datetime
explicitly according to the configured PRTG account format with component
validation rather than using new Date(start); also exclude datetime_raw and
coverage_raw from the channel iteration so they are not emitted as channels.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/dataStreams/sensorHistory.json`:
- Around line 104-111: Update the defaultTimeframe configuration in the sensor
history stream to use one of the supported timeframes listed in timeframes,
rather than dashboard; choose the appropriate supported default without changing
the existing timeframes list.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/docs/README.md`:
- Line 31: Update the authentication documentation around the API key entry and
the referenced authentication guidance so it describes API-key query-parameter
usage as this plugin’s constraint, without claiming that PRTG’s v1 API rejects
Bearer or username/passhash authentication.
In `@plugins/PRTG/v1/indexDefinitions/default.json`:
- Around line 12-98: Rename the indexed source type values in
plugins/PRTG/v1/indexDefinitions/default.json (lines 12-98) from PRTG-prefixed
names to the corresponding unprefixed PRTG object terms, including Probe, Group,
Device, and Sensor. Apply the same renamed values to every sourceType in
plugins/PRTG/v1/custom_types.json (lines 3-29) and every matches.sourceType in
plugins/PRTG/v1/scopes.json (lines 3-48), keeping all contracts consistent.

Included review availability: 4 reviews are currently available. Your included PR review attempts over the past 7 days set your current allowance at 5 reviews per hour.
Correctness fixes:
- Map PRTG status code 11 to "Not Licensed" across all six object streams,
and drop "Paused by License" from the unmonitored state maps -- PRTG never
returns that string.
- Parse the historic-data `datetime` string explicitly instead of relying on
`new Date()`, which rejects PRTG's European format ("04.12.2017 16:35:08")
and resolves the others against the host time zone rather than PRTG's.
- Report a genuine 0% coverage as 0 rather than null.
Robustness:
- Build the PRTG date strings from Intl.DateTimeFormat.formatToParts in
sensorHistory.js, sensorHistory.json and logs.json, so nothing depends on
how a given ICU build separates the date from the time.
- Return null from offsetAt when the parts are not numeric, and propagate
that, so `new Date(NaN).toISOString()` is unreachable.
- Strip everything outside the IANA character set from the interpolated time
zone, so a quote in a custom value cannot inject into the request script.
- Clamp the Sensor History window to 30 days, so a tile following a longer
dashboard timeframe returns the most recent 30 days instead of asking PRTG
for a range it cannot serve within the response cap.
Conventions:
- Rename source types to unprefixed upstream terms (Probe, Group, Device,
Sensor) per REVIEW.md. Display text is unchanged.
- Move scopes.json to defaultContent/, where the other 30 plugins and the
authoring docs put it.
- Use a recursive CODEOWNERS pattern for the plugin directory.
Documentation:
- Reword the authentication notes. PRTG's manual documents
`Authorization: Bearer`, but 26.3.122.1665 answers 401 "Unsupported
authorization scheme" to that, to `Authorization: apitoken` and to
`X-Api-Key`, leaving the apitoken query parameter as the only scheme that
works.
Verified against PRTG 26.3.122.1665 with the account time zone at UTC+1.
`table.json` raw datetimes are confirmed UTC, so the log conversion is
unchanged. `datetime_raw` is not usable in historicdata.json: it is only
returned when `usecaption` is omitted, which collapses every channel into a
single unnamed column, and it carries the bucket end rather than its start.

- Around line 6-20: Replace the extended timestamp explanation above the parsing
logic with one concise, neutral comment stating that localized datetime values
are parsed and converted using the configured time zone to keep stream
timestamps aligned with PRTG data. Remove the implementation narrative and
subjective wording while preserving the existing code.
