Hi,

I'm using PRTG API to automatically add factory sensors into the system. To do so, I use a copy of a "template" factory sensor. The copy works great.

Now I'd like to modify channel definition of the factory sensor with the API. I checked the source code of the web page, and noticed this field was not an <input> field but a <textarea> field.

So I'd like to know if there is a way to modify this field with the API ?

Thanks, Jerome

Dear Jerome,

it should work, if you do HTTP-encode the line breaks and put these into the API-call as well.

Best regards.

Thanks Torsten for your answer.

It now works perfectly. I'm working with .Net and coding in C#. Just for everybody's information, the method HttpUtility.UrlEncode (System.Web) must be applied on each argument of the URL used with the PRTG API.

Hi,

I need a way to create Factory Sensor automatically. These Factory Sensors will be an aggregation of traffic sensors of a specific group.

Is there a way to verify all traffic sensor on a group, verify which of then are up and then create a Factory Sensor automatically with these informations?

Is it possible using PRTG API?

Thank you!
