Using the API, how do I get the trigger notification values of a sensor

Hi,
what precise field do you want to access in the sensor? The limits?
Best regards

It is a Threshold Trigger "When x channel is Above y for at least 60 seconds perform Email to all members of group xxx"

How can I get this value of this trigger notification?

Hi,
I'm afraid it is not possible to get this value via the PRTG API. Sorry.
Best regards

This was a question of October 2012. Now it is March 2016. Maybe in the latest version of PRTG possible?

We want to have an overview of sensors that are configured to send a mail and the ones that are nog configured to do so. An we want to kno is a mail is sent, to who.

So I think this should be done using the api to export the next information of each sensor: (inherited of on the object itself) It is a Threshold Trigger "When x channel is Above y for at least 60 seconds perform Email to all members of group xxx"

is this possible to use api/getobjectproperty.htm?id=<sensorid>&name=<?>

what would be used as name here?

Hi,
still not possible. Sorry.
Best regards

Using the ChannelLimits tool from http://prtgtoolsfamily.com/downloads/tools you can get an overview on how your channel limits are set.

My Powershell module will let you access the limits and thresholds of any sensor / channel combo.

Read more about it here: https://thedomainiown.wordpress.com/prtg-related/prtg-script-powershell-admin-module/

Change log last week was:

2016/3/15

• Added Get-PRTGSensorData, for getting historical data.
• Added Get-PRTGChannelSettings for getting settings like channel thresholds / limits
• Added Set-PRTGChannelSettings for setting settings like channel thresholds / limits
• Added Get-PRTGSensorChannelPrediction used for estimating when a sensor will reach a certain limit. For example, days until disk is full.

The functions are rather new, and not part of the official PRTG API, so be warned that it might stop working at any time. I also don't have an example that uses the Get-PRTGChannelSettings function yet.

A full list of function is here: https://thedomainiown.wordpress.com/prtg-related/prtg-relatedprtg-admin-module-function-list/

WARNING: THIS IS NOT USING THE API AND MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME

#This is powershell
$DeviceID = 2034
$ChannelID = 2
$auth = "username=api_access&passhash=1234567890"
$PRTGHost = "192.168.0.89"

$url = "http://$PRTGHost/controls/channeledit.htm?_hjax=true&id=$DeviceID&channel=$ChannelID&$auth"
    
$request = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -MaximumRedirection 0 -ErrorAction Ignore
$ret = $request.AllElements | select name,value | where {$_.name -like "*_*"}
foreach ($line in $ret)
{
  $line.name = $line.name -replace "_$ChannelID",""
}
$ret

This returns the following:

Tested with version 16.1.22.2391

You can retrieve the properties of a notification trigger (including the thresholds at which the trigger activates as well as the name of the Notification Action that will be triggered) via the Get-NotificationTrigger cmdlet of PrtgAPI

C:\> Get-Sensor -Id 1001 | Get-NotificationTrigger

Type      ObjectId SubId Inherited ParentId Latency Condition Threshold Unit       OnNotificationAction
----      -------- ----- --------- -------- ------- --------- --------- ----       --------------------
State     1        1     True      0        600     Equals    Down                 Ticket Notification

The Get-NotificationTrigger cmdlet will list all triggers defined on an object, both inherited as well as explicitly defined. You can see all the properties you can interface with by piping to Format-List.

H. 4 years late, 2022. Any changes, can this functionality be used via the official PRTG API?

Hello Anca,

We are currently working on a new web interface that comes with a new version of the API.
With the new API we aim to have everything accessible in the web interface also accessible in the API.

To read more about our new web interface, the included new API and how to use it already is described in our blog post here: https://blog.paessler.com/paessler-prtg-brings-an-entirely-new-user-experience-with-brand-new-ui

Kind regards,
