Hello Paessler, i am trying to build dashboards for our monitoring. I was wondering if you could tell me the file locations of your databases so i can bypass the api and pull this data direct.

Cheers Sam

Hello Sam,

Monitoring data is stored in PRTG's data path, subfolder "Monitoring Database". Default data path is "C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor" if not configured otherwise. However, it is not a sql database or something like that, it's a proprietary format, so going through the API is necessary or you can use the Data Extractor, though the Data Extractor is no longer under active development.
