API Historicdata json id and channelid possible?

Votes:

0

Hello,

I have 1 sensor with 30 channels. I want to have a historicdata in json for 1 specific channel of this 30 channels.

Here the closest I get so far:

http://xyz-prt/api/historicdata.json?id=2490&channelid=6&avg=0&sdate=2021-05-10-13-00-00&edate=2021-05-10-13-56-00

Sensor is 2490 and I want a historicdata from channel 6 from 13 - 13:56. But the "&channelid=6" is ignored in this case. I get the same historicdata with "&channelid=12" etc. How to do it?

Thnx in advantage.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Regarding what you would like to achieve, I'm afraid that there is no option to get the historic data of a specific channel only.

However, you have the possibility to filter the result via a script to only keep the channel you desire. The PowerShell module PRTGAPI can also help here. to process the data. Here is its documentation: https://github.com/lordmilko/PrtgAPI/wiki

I also invite you to open a feature request if there is no existing ones related to it, by following our guideline here: https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/79245-how-can-i-propose-new-features-or-sensors-for-prtg.

If you have questions, let us know.

Regards.

Thanx for your answer,

just a last try:

api/historicdata.json?id=2490&channelid=6&avg=0&sdate=2021-05-10-13-00-00&edate=2021-05-10-13-56-00

I found out this gives me back the historical data of the last channel. Is there nothing to use like "&subid" or "&channelid" ?

Thank you!

I'm afraid that the API endpoint /api/historicdata.json doesn't take into account other parameters than the id of a sensor. Therefore, this is not possible to filter the channels returned by the API.

Regards.
