Are there plans to introduce a PRTG sensor similar to the HTTP XML/REST Value Sensor that can read and monitor JSON output from RESTful web services?
Checking JSON
With the XML Node (and optional property) field of the HTTP XML/REST Value sensor, you can also check values that are returned in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) notation under the defined URL.
Example
A JSON notated section may look like the following:
{
"test": "Hello World",
"object": {
"value": "content",
"AnotherValue": "AnotherContent"
},
"arraytest": [
"one",
"two"
]
}
Depending on your entries in the XML Node field, the sensor will process the respective values:
| Entry in Sensor's "XML Node" Field (from Example Above) | Processed Value (from Example Above) |
|---|---|
| test | Hello World |
| object/value | content |
| object/AnotherValue | AnotherContent |
| object | contentAnotherContent |
| arraytest[0] | one |
| arraytest[1] | two |
