The return of the TEXTLIST interface
With the latest beta version of PRTG Network Monitor 7.0.8 we have re-implemented the so-called “TEXTLIST” interface which makes access to the current monitoring status of all your sensors easy.
This interface was initially introduced for IPCheck Server Monitor 5 and was used by
- IPCheck’s Windows GUI
- IPCheck’s Mobile GUI (für Windows Mobile devices)
- A number of PHP scripts used to publish monitoring status
- Various scripts and programs written by IPCheck users
With the new TEXTLIST implementation in PRTG 7 now all the usage options above should now work with PRTG 7 as well as IPCheck 5 (except for the IPCheck Windows GUI which does not support PRTG).
Here is a screenshot of a Windows Mobile phone with the Mobile UI connected to a PRTG 7 server:
The Mobile UI can be downloaded from the IPCheck download page, but is not officially supported anymore.
Note: We have implemented the interface for PRTG Network Monitor 7 for easy upgrades for our customers. But it should be considered deprecated for the future. Please use the PRTG API for new projects.
