Hi, i need to show a graph with the number of "ping" sensors that are up and down in a network with more than 5000 ping sensors, so i was wondering if there is a way to get the count, instead of call for all the sensors and do the count manually in my system

Hi,
sure, you can create an API call which only will get the ping sensors from a certain group in a certain status. The following example call will give you the object IDs of all Ping Sensors in a group with status down in JSON format:

http(s)://YOUR_PRTG_SERVER/api/table.json?content=sensors&output=json&columns=objid&filter_type=ping&filter_group=GROUP_NAME&filter_status=5

Please replace the expressions with capital letters to fit your needs

The call will produce JSON as output and will also include a statement called treesize which holds the value for all sensors of the above type.

You might also want to add a further parameter count=10000 to make sure all sensors are picked up because the default output is limited to 500 sensors

http(s)://YOUR_PRTG_SERVER/api/table.json?content=sensors&output=json&columns=objid&filter_type=ping&filter_group=GROUP_NAME&filter_status=5&count=10000


Best regards
