How do I get bandwidth usage from PRTG to Splunk?

[itzelislas]

I'm trying to collect the network events from PRTG that would help me to monitor the bandwidth use. Does anyone know what is the configuration to do it?

Um, asuming you found out the sensorid you can then (using your credentials in prtg.conf in the default stanze) do something like this:

| prtghistoricdata id=126586  | timechart max("Datenverkehr eingehend (volume)(RAW)")

where you would select the row you want to chart, this is using the german version...

| prtghistoricdata id=126586

this will just show all columns for the timerange specified by the search

Use the inlcuded dashboard "overview" to find your probe
Overview -> Inventory -> select the probe and then below in "Latest measurement of Sensor (click desired measure to chart)" select the sensor to chart. Open the search to see what the command would be...

Does this help?

Hi itzelislas, Are you looking to pull SNMP traffic sensor data into Splunk or Netflow? You can pull the data for Netflow via the API following these steps https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/36593-how-do-i-extract-an-xml-file-from-the-netflow-tab-toplists. For regular sensors such as SNMP traffic sensors just follow the standard historic data API calls https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/application_programming_interface_api_definition
You can also find the documentation under Setup > PRTG Api in the web UI.
