Adding new sensors not working after update to version 23.3.86.1520

[imaderaya]

Describe the bug

Hello,

After updating PRTG to version 23.3.86.1520, Adding sensors is not working any more.
The error message : Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid

Steps to reproduce

Code Example:

Connect-PrtgServer -Server "https://prtgserver.com" (New-Credential "username" "passwd");
$device = Get-Device -Id 126556;
$device | New-SensorParameters -RawType ping | Add-Sensor

Result:

Add-Sensor : Could not authenticate to PRTG; the specified username and password were invalid.

What is the output of 'Get-PrtgClient -Diagnostic'?

Hi @imaderaya,

I have deployed a fix for this issue. Can you please follow the manual installation instructions and advise whether this issue is resolved in PrtgAPI 0.9.19-preview.2?

I confirm that the issue is resolved in PrtgAPI 0.9.19-preview.2.

Great job.

Any chance of building a release and publishing to PSGallery as release or prerelease?

Same here. After installing current Prelease, my Scripts are working again.

@MikeyMing not sure if you are using the Preview.
I have not tested the preview - I need to, but had no time - So my prtg upgrade to the newest version will have to wait. But your version sys 0.9.18 and not 0.9.19-preview.2

[MikeyMing]

How do I get the preview? When I click on the link it downloads the latest zip directly.

Thanks

[lordmilko]

You need to follow the manual installation instructions to use the latest preview build, however I am actively in the process of trying to release PrtgAPI 0.9.19, I'm just trying to resolve some issues with my build system

[lordmilko]

Please be advised PrtgAPI 0.9.19 has now been released. Please do Update-Module PrtgAPI and then reopen your PowerShell session

[MikeyMing]

Thanks. Its working now. God bless PrtgAPI

Hi LordMilko,

I have updated to 0.9.19, but I am still getting the same error.

Can you please take another look?

[lordmilko]

Can you please provide a code sample which is generating this error?

[MikeSouthwell]

Please see relevant code snippet below that is causing that error:

Get-Sensor -Name "Template" -count 1 | Clone-Object -DestinationId $resellerID.Id -Name $backupSensorName -Resume

Get-Sensor -Name $backupSensorName | Set-ObjectProperty -RawProperty paessler-microsoft365-mailbox_section-mailbox_group-filter_subject_string_ -RawValue "$subjectString" -Force
