does prtg has a mechanism by which it can adjust to the sensor limits over a period of time using historical data? If so how to use and configure it?

Hi,
what exactly do you want to do?

two things.

a.) Lets say my upper warning limit for a full page download is set to 15 secs. Usually this takes around 1 sec or so. So over a period of time the average would be around 2-3 secs. Now suddenly if that starts taking close to 10 secs (could be under a attack or something), how do we know. Can PRTG alert us in that kind of situation when the threshold value is outside the average but still remains within the warning/error limits.

b) Not related to this but, we have a job running at 2 AM and at this time the full page download takes more than 15 secs and we have to ignore the alerts. Is there a way we can specify these limits conditional (or time specific).

Hi,
for a): You might just set your warning/error limits to 10/15 seconds and use additional a threshold trigger for loading time if the loading time is above, let's say, 5 seconds but below the warning limit of 10 seconds. The sensor won't go to a alarm state but you will receive a email notification.
for b): Please have a look at the Schedules function for this purpose. PRTG can pause sensors or notifications for a predefined time.
Best regards
