How do I select a value from xml to use for a HTTP XML/REST Value sensor?

Votes:

0

I'm trying to extract the value of Queued in the xml below using the HTTP XML/REST Value sensor:

<xxxxresponse>
  <action>GETSTATISTICS</action>
  <response>Success</response>
  <responsedata xmlns:xxxx="http://schemas.xxxxxxxxxx.com/aci/">
    <xxxx:stat class="Indexer" xxxxid="Queue" name="Received" metric="6" value="1665522"/>
    <xxxx:stat class="Indexer" xxxxid="Queue" name="Completed" metric="6" value="1665520"/>
    <xxxx:stat class="Indexer" xxxxid="Queue" name="Queued" metric="6" value="2"/>
  </responsedata>
</xxxxresponse>

I've tried many variations of the following:

  • xxxx:stat[@name='Queued']
  • stat[@name='Queued'] - doesnt seem to work (with 'Remove namespaces')
  • /stat[@Queued]

Am I using the correct sensor? If so, what is the correct syntax to pull out the value?

Thanks.

Hello,

Please have a look at the following articles, where this is explained:
- How do I extract values from XML nodes
- HTTP XML/REST Value Sensor

If you cannot solve it, please open a support ticket at [email protected] and send us screenshots of the sensor settings, so we can take a closer look.

Kind Regards,
