User Story
As a PRTG User, I want to have function, which make possible to start device (sensor) or group with a settable delay, after restart Core server or probe.
Details of User Story
I have a lot of sensors which run scripts with small interval, when they start together after i restart my probes they overload my system, i have to stop it all and start each script individually with a little delay. In this case all works perfectly.
Acceptance criteria
Function must have a settable time interval.

How will it look in my case? I have Probe, at this Probe i have only one device, for this device i have 40 PowerShell script, what i need to do to delay each script for 5 minute? I need to create a Dependency for each script to each other? Make one of them start without a delay, and other will start step by step? Or i need to create 40 different devices and link them to each other?

This would actually only work if the sensors were distributed among devices. In your case, how about creating distinct lock files for each script and then check the age of the lock file within the script (and have it exit once it's not old enough instead)?

Would "Dependency Delay (Sec.)" within the device settings be what you're looking for? When the depending object (e.g. a ping sensor, or one of your script sensors) are up again, and if the delay has passed, the other sensors are queued for scanning.
