Monitoroning Location (Map) via PRTG

Dear stamatis2810,

Thank you for your KB-post.

Actually, there is no way to achieve this with the native sensors or features of PRTG. However, please refer to this KB-article which might point you in the right direction.

Best regards,

Dear Sven,

I have done to transfer the gps data from Vessel to PRTG via prtg API. The problem is that PRTG does not refresh the new Data that the Vessel send to PRTG Location (Location (for Geo Maps)) and when the new data imported to Location Label of PRTG, always shows the South Africa Area on the map. Please advise how to resolve this issue. .Your assistance will be high appreciated.

Many thanks and Best Regards,

Dear stamatis2810,

Please try to use the following API-call to set the new location to your device:

https://your-core-server.tld/api/setobjectproperty.htm?id=9999&name=location&value=47.864419,-86.779434&username=prtgadmin&passhash=12345678

# 9999     = device-ID
# 12345678 = passhash --> Setup > Account Settings > My Account > USER ACCOUNT > Passhash

Dear Sven,

Many thanks for your reply...I have configure my API as per your instructions. The problem now is that i cannot see the Lat Long values that the Vessel send to the PRTG, on the Location (Geo Maps). If i set a number on the the Location ,for example "0" and click "Save", then the Map is coreect but the location value is not correct, as we set it to "0". Please advise what i am doing wrong. Many thanks for your assistance. Your assistance will be high appreciated.
