Thanks @astapelfeld,

I have managed to reproduce the issue by creating a new state trigger on an object whose name contains a quote. At a glance it appears PRTG is (once again) transmitting completely illegal JSON/XML around

Specifically, the href attribute of the objectlink JSON property in the response above decodes to the following

href=\"sensor.htm?id=5725\">Disk Free: D:&#92; Label: Exchange "DATA"</a>"

This is illegal; the quotes surrounding the word DATA should be double encoded so that they come out as single encoded when processed by a parser.

I will look into implementing a workaround for this. Thanks for raising this issue
