Votes:

0

We already export a list of devices via API in .csv format, We using notification triggers to invoke text to speech call that reads the comments field to notify the details.

Is there a way to export this list also with comments in the device?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have tried with these methods, and could obtain the .xml file

https://yourserver/api/table.xml?content=sensors&columns=objid,comments&login=[user]&password=[password]

https://yourserver/api/table.xml?content=sensors&columns=objid,comments&login=[user]&passhash=[passwordhash]

inside the .xml file a list of object id and someone without comment and other with "Ethernet" comment, but it doesn't make much sense.

<objid>2114</objid> </item> <item> <objid>2115</objid> <comments>Ethernet</comments> </item> <item> <objid>2116</objid> <comments>Ethernet</comments>

in the sensor comment we have the Customer name and device info and we need to know if are present

Hi,

That's strange. I already tested the above APIs and I am able to extract the comments which defined on the sensors. Please note that I only tested this with the "Windows Network Card Sensor"
