Rest/XML Sensor Error: Der Ausdruck muss in einem Knotensatz resultieren.

Votes:

0

Translated = The expression must result in a node"

I have a rest interface which give the following json output

{"configuredState":"STARTED","realTimeState":"STARTED"}

I have tried unsuccessfully to set up a HTTP XML/REST Sensor.

My parameters are: URL: the url which delivers json output XML-Node: /configuredState

I have tried without the backslash also to no avail.

How do I configure a sensor to show OK when the configuredState = STARTED and ERROR when = STOPPED?

Argh, sorry :D I meant //configuredState It got formatted in italic due to the double backslash.

Just tried the same JSON with pastebin and it works fine. What PRTG version are you running?

Is it possible that the page requires a login or something like that?

I have just managed to get it working with a token generated for the prtg server. In "Message" I can now see "Node configueredState holds value STOPPED" - but the sensor is green. How can I now configure the sensor to show error when value = STOPPED and OK when STARTED?

That won't work, but you can make the sensor trigger a change notification once the value changes within the sensor options :)
