Hello,

I'm trying to use API call to enable/disable all monitors for all devices in a particular group. I see in the documentation there is a way to reference the group, but no examples. Does anyone have a sample API call to disable devices by group?

Thanks in advance

You could simply use the pause API call with the ID of the group to pause the entire group:

pause /api/pause.htm?id=objectid&pausemsg=yourmessage&action=0

resume /api/pause.htm?id=objectid&action=1

The first one will pause it indefinitely, the other resumes it :) Replace objectid accordingly. PRTGapi (see signature) is even easier:

# get devies of a group and pause them indefinitely
Get-Device -Group (Get-Group -Id <groupid>) | Pause-Object -Forever
# resume the devices within that group 
Get-Device -Group (Get-Group -Id <groupid>) | Resume-Object

PRTGapi | Feature Requests | WMI Issues | SNMP Issues

Kind regards,
