Get Monitor Status (XML API)

Last modified on March 27, 2024

To get the monitor status, send a POST request to /devices/status after logging in. This will return a list of all monitors, or, if a monitor ID is specified in <ObjDevice>, then the status for that monitor is returned, along with the most recent status. This is useful to determine if any monitors failed the last test.
