Request number of errors per probe or device through HTTP

Votes:

0

I am looking for a way to read the number of errorsmessages there are for a single node or device. An option that comes close to what i'm looking for is the getstatus request. (http://{url}/api/getstatus.xml?username={user}&passhash={pass}), but this shows the number of messages of all the nodes this user has acces to.

Is there a way to get the number of errors (and warnings) for a single node or device?

http prtg xml

Use the table.xml request

Using the table.xml request, you can include an ObjectID filter, to only count warnings and errors from that sensor down:

http://{url}/api/table.xml?content=probes&filter_objid={objectid}&columns=downsens,warnsens&username={user}&passhash={passhash}

The output will look something like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <probes>
  <prtg-version>7.3.3.5634</prtg-version> 
- <item>
  <downsens_RAW>0000000000</downsens_RAW> 
  <warnsens_RAW>0000000000</warnsens_RAW> 
  </item>
  </probes>

Dear Frans,

I'm very much afraid such an API-Call is not yet available for PRTG 7.x.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your quick reply.

Are there any plans to make this available in a future update/release?
