We are trying to check the frequecy of critical and high alerts, hence we require the logs to check. Is there a way to pull only the critical and high alert logs of all the sensors that were up and down for 1 month in PRTG? Please advice
IS there a way to segregate all the 5 star and 4 star logs in PRTG and download them

Hello,
we appreciate your inquiry.
Unfortunately it is not possible to filter the Sensor's log by priority in the Log-entry list.
Over the API, there's a parameter called filter_priority (I.E.: ...&filter_priority=5) but that setting can't be used in content=messages API Calls.
The only alternative would be (over the API) to query the list of sensors with a specific priority and then perform individual calls to get the messages for those individual Sensor ID's.
The Sensors API call would be
To get the list of sensors with priority 3 ( * )
http://yourprtg/api/table.xml?content=sensors&output=xml&columns=objid&filter_priority=3The Sensor's Messages API call would be:http://yourprtg/api/table.xml?content=messages&output=xml&columns=objid,datetime,status,message&id=SENSORIDPlease also note that all API calls should contain the following for authentication:
&username=prtgadmin&password=prtgadminor, when using the passhash instead:&username=prtgadmin&passhash=123456789123456789Sep, 2015 - Permalink
