Number of devices using certain credentials

Hi.

Is it possible to get a report from PRTG on the number of times SNMP credentials are used across everything we monitor, the same for WMI usage etc.

thanks.

Dear Steve,

this is not directly possible. A, though rather complex, solution would be using API calls. The first API call generates a list of device objects. Then for each device, an API call is used to get a list of sensors of a particular type. If such sensors are found, they have to be counted (for example, via a script which performs the calls and processes the results.) Then, if the number of those sensors on a device is >0, an API call reads a part of the credentials property (passwords cannot be extracted, but login names).
