I have created a custom lookup with the range type. When I try to load the new lookup file, I get an error message ('''is not a valid integer value").

Working with range-based lookups

This is a standard range based lookup that is included in PRTG by default for reference. The file is called prtg.standardlookups.snmpprinter.cartridgelevel.ovl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ValueLookup id="prtg.standardlookups.snmpprinter.cartridgelevel" desiredValue="100" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PaeValueLookup.xsd">
<Lookups>
<Range state="Ok" from="16" to="100">Ok</Range>
<Range state="Warning" from="6" to="15">Low</Range>
<Range state="Error" from="0" to="5">Critical</Range>
<Range state="None" from="-2" to="-1">Unknown</Range>
<Range state="Ok" from="-3" to="-3">Not Empty</Range>
</Lookups>
</ValueLookup>


Note: You cannot mix different lookup types, so when working with a range-based lookup file, all entries must be range based. You can easily enter a single number by creating a range that goes from and to the same value, for example:

<Range state="Warning" from="6" to="6">Number Six</Range>
