Users/users group administration

Hi Stephan, Sorry I'm not able to check the link right now but I'm after number of users per group, for example, I have a user group call ReadOnly which only have read access to our PRTG and I want to check the number of users in that group every month.

Thanks and regards Terry

I may have something at hand, I'll post it tomorrow :)

Hi Stephan,

Just tested the link, I could write up a script to count the users/group from that. Just wondering if we can have csv version of this, that would be great?

No CSV link for that I'm afraid :/ Does that work for you anyway?

Yes, I just need to write a script to count the users, should be all good, thanks Stephan

Okay cool :) Feel free to post the working script here and I'll promote it as best answer; then other users can find it better and make use of your work as well :)

Hi Stephan,

I ran into another problem. I tried to download the report page via powershell but it would then redirected me to prtg login page. I tried both web-request method and create an ie object, but neither of them work. Is there a way I can get the report without manually logon and download it?

web-request method:

$R = Invoke-WebRequest $prtglink -SessionVariable test
$test
$Form = $R.Forms[0]
$Form | Format-List

$Form.fields

$Form.Fields["loginusername"] = "$username"
$Form.Fields["loginpassword"] = "$password"

$R = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ("$prtglink" + $Form.Action) -WebSession $test -Method POST -Body $Form.Fields

$R.Content
#R.content showing login page

create an ie object:

$reportlink = "$prtglink/config_report_users.htm"
$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie.Visible = $true
$ie.Navigate("$reportlink")
While ($ie.Busy) {
Sleep 2
}
$doc = $ie.Document
#$doc return null

You could simply call the URL with username and passhash GET parameters and you won't have to deal with the actual login: http://<your-prtg-url>/config_report_users.htm?username=prtgadmin&passhash=12345678

Okie cool, I thought that wasn't available. Thanks Stephan, will try it on Monday

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for your help. I'm able to get my script working now. Please see below for details:

$reportlink = $UserDetails.UserDetails.PRTG2+"/config_report_users.htm?username=$username&passhash=$passhash"
$report = Invoke-WebRequest $reportlink
$report = $report.Content
$groupID = "123456789" #group id
$grouptag = ($report -split "id=`"$groupID`"")[-1]
$grouptag = ($grouptag -split "</tr>")[0]

#"class=`"col-primarygroup`"" count primary users of the group
#"class=`"col-members`"" count members of the group
# in my case I only need primary users
$PrimeUsers = ($grouptag -split "class=`"col-primarygroup`"")[-1]
$PrimeUsers = $PrimeUsers.split(",")
$usersCount = $PrimeUsers.Length

Regards

Nice work :)
