What is the format of an open query in the API?

Votes:

0

I'm trying to return object details for a specific device based upon probe name and ip. Supposedly there's an undocumented open filter thing that I can use, but I have no idea what the format would be. Any clues?

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your request.

When it comes to object details I would recommend checking out the API calls described in the Live Data tab of PRTG's API. What exactly do you want to query?

Best,
Sebastian

I'm making calls to retrieve device and sensor data from device information obtained from other sources, so I don't have the objid. I figured out how to specifically grab a device based on IP and probe name, but if there's a list somewhere of each parameter I can filter for (like right now I'm trying to query for sensors based on device ID) that would be helpful.
