Live Graphs of multiple sensors

Is it possible, either by map creation, or by API query, to get the live graphs of a group of sensors with a particular tag? For example: I tagged about 15 bandwidth sensors with the tag of <foo> I want to be able to hit a map, or page that would display the live graphs of all sensors tagged with <foo>

Hello,

I'm afraid that's not possible. You would have to put the sensors (respectively their graphs) on the map individually.

best regards.

Using a ruby script, and some API calls, I was able to generate a web page that contains the live graphs for all sensors given a particular tag. It is quite cool that PRTG lets me do this.

I had a problem however, in that it seemed the API when requesting sensor and displaying the tags column only gave me some of the tag results. Not sure why this was.

Are you aware that tags are inherited from parent device/groups?

When you request the tags of a sensor you only get the tags set for the specific sensor.

But when you look at lists of sensors each sensor also inherits the tags of all its parents
