Create python "bots" to send output back to PRTG

Modified on 2025-06-10 21:55:05 +0200

I'm working on a separate web interface that integrates with the PRTG API which I run on my local device. My goal is to collect data from the PRTG API, then load it into a database which can be accessed by a separate panel. My question is what functionality/where do I go about creating a bot that can report simple values such as "up" or "down" through a scripting language like Python?

Hm you might want to take a peek at http://itakestime.github.io/phPRTG/ which does something similar. Maybe you can adopt it, despite it being written in PHP.
