How can I get a full list of devices via api?

Votes:

When doing a api qry : /api/table.xml?content=devices&output=csvtable&columns=device

I get a incomplete list of devices. Shouldn't it give all the names that are in devices setting field "Device Name" ? Also it would be nice to be able to pull all ip's of devices from the devices setting field "IPv4 Address/DNS Name" .

api device ip-

you can use the following API-Call /api/table.xml?content=devices&output=xml&columns=objid,probe,group,device,host or /api/table.xml?content=devices&output=csv&columns=objid,probe,group,device,host

O.k., that only gives me more info (additional fields) on the devices that are listed from my attached api call, but this is not a complete list of devices.

When I go to "PRTG Host"/status.htm?tabid=1 I get the following :

Database Objects Probes 5 Groups 150 Devices 856

which is also different from what the api qry returns.

Hi,

The API call by default only returns 500 devices. To return more, use the count parameter and add something like &count=1000 to your URL.
