We have a need to monitor the # of devices in a group or under a certain probe. I am aware of and use the excellent SensorCount.exe custom sensor. What we also need is something similar which produces a count of devices instead of sensors. I've searched and searched and so far I can't figure out a way to do it with the API and I haven't found a way to make a custom sensor to produce that #.
Is there a way to collect a count of devices under a given probe?

This can be done with PRTG's HTTP XML/REST Value sensor
Use the url below and replace xx with the id (number) of your probe.
http://PRTGServer:port/api/table.xml?content=sensortree&ID=xx&login=username&password=password
In the XML Node section enter: device
Under Sensor Value select Use the number of occurrences of the selected XML node or its children/sibblings
Under Count XML nodes select Occurences of the selected XML node

Hi there,
That's rather easy. :)
Either by navigating to the Probe (Click on "Local Probe") and checking the right side, there you should see something like:
Status: OKConnected Dependency: Parent Default Interval: every 30 minutes ID: #3878
Another way would be to check the URL instead for:
| http://SERVER/probenode.htm?id=3878&tabid=1 |
Here the ID would be "3878".
Best regards.

Hey,
You can find these configurations in the sensor settings. Please let me know where you get stuck exactly here.
Kind regards,
