This modular input polls and retrieves data from Paessler PRTG Network Monitor. The PRTG API is excellent and provides access to almost all data. The typical use case is to periodically retrieve sensor status and values.
The recommended format for retreiving data is the JSON format, and this should work correctly with minimal customisation. If you want to use other data formats then you will need to create Splunk parsing properties and possibly field extractions etc.

The documention in the PRTG UI easiest to read, but online API documentation is also available online: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/application_programming_interface_api_definition
Retreiving all sensors:
/api/table.json?content=sensors&output=json&columns=objid,probe,group,device,sensor,status,message,lastvalue,priority&count=1000
Retreving specific sensor (includes child sensors):
/api/table.json?content=sensors&output=json&id=2003&columns=objid,probe,group,device,sensor,status,message,lastvalue,priority&count=1000
Retreving all sensors in warning or alarm status:
/api/table.json?content=sensors&count=1000&output=json&columns=objid,probegroupdevice,device,sensor,status,lastvalue,message,priority&sortby=priority&filter_status=4&filter_status=5&filter_status=10&filter_status=13&filter_status=14
no changes except for version number. version bump to stop app being archived.
No functional changes. Updated to new version of AddonBuilder so it should pass the Readiness Check app. Note that the Readiness App may still report non-compliance if you have installed this version over an older version.
