REST (Custom v2 ?) Sensor

Votes:

0

Hello,

I want to check the result of an api json but I cannot have a proper result. Can you please help me ?

my Json file returns this :

"status": "Healthy",
  "totalDuration": "00:00:06.2197119"

I want to check the status but, as it's not an integer the channel cannot show the status. Is it possible to do this ?

i try the Custom v2 sensor, when I use Custom message = $.status it works but I don't have any log of status change.

Is anyone here has already use this sensor to show some string result ?

Thank you

Hi Corly,

Since it is a bit tricky to monitor strings in PRTG, I would recommend to take a look at our manual about the possibilities how you can achieve your request: Manual REST Custom v2.

Kind regards
