Identifying the device a device cloned itself from ideally via API?

Votes:

0

Hi Guys,

I suspect this is an incredibly long shot but is there a way to identify which clone device a device used to deploy a new device. We have 5 example devices for Server, network, ESX, UTM and EFM lines. Our CRM then uses these to set example sensors for these devices to speed up deployment. I need to identify which clone item all our devices used.

Not sure if this is possible with the traditional API or with LordMilkos PRTGAPI tool but any guidance would be appreciated.

Kindest Samuel

Hi Sam,

This information does not appear to be stored in the logs of cloned or created objects, indicating this most likely is not a thing. For future reference I recommend assigning some tags to your device templates, so that you can easily look up the source and category of the device at a later date

Lordmilko is correct here, it will just state "Created" in the logs, including a timestamp. The approach pointed out is correct as well. Thanks for jumping in!

Kind regards,
