In Sorting and Advanced Filtering API document has one like that

filter_tags | Only include sensors with a specific tag (for content="sensors" only). Using multiple filter_tag fields performs a logical OR. | @tag(tagname).

I tried using tag name with space and comma but it also made a logical OR.

How do I filter tags with logical and?

Hi there,

A preceeding + should do the trick here, like this: @tag(+tag,+newtag)
It translates to "Must have this tag and this tag". Let me know if it worked out :)

Will this work with Libraries with Filter by Tags? If no how i can filter only by two tags in?

Yes, this works in the mentioned field as well. Use +tag1, +tag2 to have them linked via logical AND.

I'm trying to do this with the API and it doesn't seem to work. for example

&filter_tags=@tag(+tag1) = a small set of sensors
&filter_tags=@tag(+tag1,+tag2) = a larger set of sensors

it returns sensors that are either tag1 or tag2 instead of AND. Can this not be done on the API?

Could you provide me with the whole query? I'm pretty sure that it worked with PRTG 17.x. You're running the latest version I assume?

I am using the latest version. Can I email/msg it to you directly? I'd prefer not to post the whole query in a public forum.

Note: The + sign has to be URL-encoded. So, use %2b instead of "+". Also have a look here
