CSVExport Error

Votes:

0

Can you please give me advice how to solve the error when trying to export my data to csv format?

I'm currently running the report on the server and not from a remote station. I also changed the IP address to the host name, host name:8080, IP:8080 and http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx.

My CSVExport sensor with the parameters: -pu=user -pp=password -ps=xxx.xx.xx.xxx -s=2011 -f=c:\2011

The error unable to connect to the remote server.

The parameters -ps=, -pu= and -pp= are used to construct the following url:

http://[server:port]?username=[username]&password=[password]

Can you please confirm that using this url, with the values between brackets replaced, connects you to your PRTG server?

I can confirm that I'm using the parameters with the url and still get an error message "Unable to connect to the remote server".

Examples of my parameters I used:

I used PRTG Username and password -pu=admin -pp=Labpassword123 -ps=http://187.16.6.100:8080 -s=2052 -f=c:\temp

I used PRTG Username and password with HTTPS -pu=admin -pp=Labpassword123 -ps=https://187.16.6.100:8080 -s=2052 -f=c:\temp

I used Domain Username and password with HTTP -pu=administrator -pp=Labpassword123 -ps=http://187.16.6.100:8080 -s=2052 -f=c:\temp

I will appreciate if you can point out what the problem is.

How (exactly) does the url look when connecting to your PRTG server?

Please test the url on the same machine where you run CSVExport.

Sorry, with the URL I mend the URL that you type into your web browser to connect to your PRTG server.

If you are using http://187.16.6.100 without a port number, please use 

-ps=http://187.16.6.100
