API field required for "Traffic In" channel's manual value set for "Display in percent of maximum"

Votes:

0

With the following URL, I am able to retrieve the name and max threshold of a channel.

https://monitoring/api/getobjectproperty.htm?id=2001&subtype=channel&subid=0&name=name&show=text

https://monitoring/api/getobjectproperty.htm?id=2001&subtype=channel&subid=0&name=limitmaxwarning&show=text

But, didn't find any fieldname to use in API, for Maximum (kbit/s) limit that we set manually in PRTG on a network interface's channel ? I would like to retrieve 30,000 for the below example's setting on an interface "Traffic In" channel.

Data
( ) Display actual values in kbit/s
(*) Display in percent of maximum
Maximum (kbit/s)
<b>30,000</b>

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

To get the maximum value defined in the setting of a sensor channel, you can use the following API call:

https://monitoring/api/getobjectproperty.htm?id=2001&subtype=channel&subid=0&name=ref100percent&show=text

If you have questions, let me know.

Regards.

You will find many elements in the following manual under Advanced Script, HTTP Data, and REST Custom Sensors: Elements: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensors#advanced_elements.

However, I'm afraid that some of them can't be supported as they can be different between installations. Therefore you need to get the id of the objects by using the developer console of your browser.

Regards.
