TOPIC about_ObjectSettings SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes PRTG Device, Group and Probe properties that can be used in conjunction with the Set-ObjectProperty and Get-ObjectProperty cmdlets. LONG DESCRIPTION PrtgAPI supports the retrieval and modification of dozens of Object Setting values in a reliable, typesafe manner. The following tables outline the properties that are currently supported/unsupported by PrtgAPI, as well as the setting values each property corresponds to within the PRTG Web Interface. For properties that are not currently supported, it is possible to interact with these values via the "Raw" cmdlet parameter sets. For more information, see the help pages of Get-ObjectProperty and Set-ObjectProperty In the tables below, the following keys are used to indicate typesafe support status. Yes : Supported No : Not currently supported Direct : Supports Get and Set, however can only be Get via direct requests N/A : Not Applicable This help topic describes properties that are supported on Devices, Groups and Probes. For information about properties that are specific to sensors, see about_SensorSettings Device, Group, Probe Settings | Basic Settings | Get | Set | Devices | Groups | Probes | Description | |
