Getting PRTG System Status

You can also get the PRTG system status such as the number of alarms or messages using the following API calls.

i_speechExamples

Live system status in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) format:

/api/getstatus.xml?id=0

Live system status in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format:

/api/getstatus.htm?id=0

All sensors in use in the JSON format:

/api/sensortypesinuse.json

Number of all sensor states:

/api/gettreenodestats.xml

Getting PRTG Health Status

You can also get the overall PRTG system health status such as probe connection status and if login is possible using the following API calls:

i_speechExamples

Live overall system status of PRTG in the JSON format:

/api/healthstatus.json

Live overall system status of PRTG Hosted Monitor in the JSON format:

/api/healthstatus.json&mode=hosted

Getting PRTG Health Data

You can also get the PRTG health data such as system CPU used (%), system memory used (%), disk space used (%), disk space used (GB), health (%), total number of probes, disconnected probes, total sensors, and sensor in the Unknown status using the following API calls:

i_speechExample

Live health data of PRTG in the JSON format using maxage:

/api/health.json&maxage=age

i_round_bluemaxage is the age in seconds for data to be considered "old". For example, if data is older than 4 minutes and maxage=120, the data will be refreshed and then sent to the client.

Live health data of PRTG in the JSON format using refreshnow:

/api/health.json&refreshnow=1/anything_else

i_round_blueIf refreshnow=1, the data will be refreshed before the API call is returned. Also, if refreshnow=1 is present in the API call, maxage will not be considered.
