Hey guys.
I would like help. I have an API where I want to collect the status. Contacting the return is a string, I am using the lookup but it is giving the error:
Could no evaluate channel value of Status: expected type string for parameter 0 but got []interface {}
Following is the complete Json return:
{
"http_method":"GET",
"results":[
{
"name":"LBVDC",
"ldap_server":"LDAPDomain",
"type":"fsso",
"status":"connected",
"active_server":"10.0.74.1"
},
{
"name":"Local FSSO Agent",
"ldap_server":"",
"type":"fsso",
"status":"connected",
"active_server":"127.0.0.1"
},
{
"id":1,
"server":"10.100.41.31",
"ldap_server":"LDAPBenef",
"type":"fsso-polling",
"status":"disconnected"
}
],
"vdom":"Internet",
"path":"user",
"name":"fsso",
"status":"success",
"serial":"FG5H0E3917902163",
"version":"v6.4.3",
"build":1778
}
Here is the template created:
{
"prtg": {
"result": [
{
"channel": "Status",
"value":lookup($.results[:1].status, "disconnected", "connected")
}
]
}
}

Hello Artur,
Thank you for your message.
Can you tell me if the number of items returned in the array results is dynamic ? If not, then you can use the following template to monitor the item which has the couple property/value "id":1 :
{
"prtg":{
"result":[
{
"channel": "Status",
"value": lookup($.results[2].status, "connected")
}
]
}
}
You have the possibility to define a lookup file in the template as well, if you desire to display connected/disconnected in the channel. To do so, you need to add "ValueLookup": "lookupID" like this.
{
"prtg":{
"result":[
{
"channel": "Status",
"value": lookup($.results[2].status, "connected")m
"ValueLookup": "lookupID"
}
]
}
}
Here is the manual regarding custom lookup: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/define_lookups
