How to use placeholders with HTTP-request?

Votes:

0

Hello,

we are currently using the PRTG HTTP-request function to send sensor information to our database program, this is working fine. The only problem is that i can't seem to use the PRTG placeholders together with the URL that i use with HTTP-request.

How can i combine URL's together with the PRTG placeholders?

http-request placeholders url

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. Could you please elaborate with a few more details (best, upload some screenshots) how exactly you "forward" data from PRTG via HTTP to the database program? Thank you!

best regards.

Hello, I came across this post and this is obviously what I'm looking for as well.

If I could use placeholders in URL thThe URL triggered by a http-sensor could look like: http://<targetserver>/<path>/?%sensorid If this would be possible I could transfer the SensorID (and many other PRTG-parameter) to target URL.

Are you planning to add this feature in one of the next releases?

Best Regards

Oliver, are you referring to HTTP notifications? Then you can definitely use the placeholders
