Question

[mafer0410]

What are you trying to do, and to what extent does PrtgAPI provide existing functionality around this?

a query,
Is there a way to pause a sensor automatically, that is, every day?

Is this something that has some sort of parallel in the PRTG UI? If so where do you go/how do you normally do it?

Due Dilligance
Please enter an 'x' between the brackets to indicate you have done these

• I've read the wiki and am sure this feature doesn't already exist
• This is a general feature that belongs in PrtgAPI and isn't highly specific to my scenario

Hi @mafer0410,

PrtgAPI simply exposes the underlying PRTG HTTP API in an easy to use framework.

In regards to your query, you have two options

1. If the schedule is going to be same every day, you can modify the Schedule property normally found on the object's Settings page
2. If you'd like to have greater control over which objects are paused and when, you can setup a Scheduled Task on one of your servers that periodically runs (e.g. once every hour) and dynamically calculates which objects should be paused and then pauses them with the Pause-Object cmdlet

Regards,
lordmilko

if it were the second option, would it be through a powershell script? El vie., 4 de sep. de 2020 a la(s) 18:00, lordmilko ( [email protected]) escribió:

Hi @mafer0410,

Yes, you would write a PowerShell script that determines the sensors to be paused and then pauses them with the Pause-Object cmdlet

[mafer0410]

ok, it would be to call the sensors of a device and pass it with the command, the time of the pause can be added as parameters, for example, pause it at 8:00 am every day El sáb., 5 de sep. de 2020 a la(s) 18:57, lordmilko ( [email protected]) escribió:

Hi @mafer0410,

Yes. Please see the wiki for more information on how to use PrtgAPI

• Retrieving sensors
• Retrieving devices
• Pausing objects

You will need to coordinate the time your Scheduled Task runs with the code that you write in your script to achieve the desired outcome

OK understood. Thanks for the attention. I was a few days off, so I did not answer him. The attention is also appreciated. El vie., 4 de sep. de 2020 a la(s) 18:00, lordmilko ( [email protected]) escribió:
