Hey Paessler! We have 5 PRTG servers and the service desk are forever nagging me to make it so we can search a customer and it give a result even if they are on a different core server instance. I know this wont be an easy thing to do and will probably require a lot of work from my end but do you have any pointers as to how i could do this ?

thanks Sam

Hi there,

Unfortunately, that is not possible, as you already know.

You can however utilize the API of PRTG to search for certain strings (e.g. &filter_name=sub(CustomerA)). The API documentation can be found in the webinterface under "Setup > PRTG API".

Best regards.

Sigh... i knew it'd be a API style scenario.... time to whip out my JSON.

Thanks :)

Hi there,

The API is available in different formats, CSV, XML and JSON. Just change "table.XX" to either "table.csv", "table.json" or "table.xml".

Should there be any further questions, regarding certain queries, don't hesitate to ask. :)


Best regards.
