Hi Dominique,

I'm specifically trying to get the API to work in Splunk. I have all of our index servers loaded with the app. I have a user built on both sides, and I have the prtg.conf file configured with port 443 as well. I think it needs to specifically gather from the "live data" api on PRTG? Maybe not. But what do I add from the api on prtg to the prtg.conf file (or maybe the searchbnf.conf file?) to make that connection? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Um, i am writing (spare time) a inptucommand that gathers stuff from the http interface. What would be the stuff you'd like to get from PRTG?

Hi,

I have already asked Paessler if they will provide the PRTG logs via syslog.
But they wont't do this.

you should be able to get notable events via api. maybe you can say what exactly you need? Maybe have a loot at ta-prtg....

Thanks for the response.
I was more looking along the lines of accessing its database with (for example) performance details.

Anyone?

Any luck with this? I'm looking into Splunk-PRTG integration at the moment and was hoping not to have to re-invent the wheel if possible.
