List Monitors (XML API)

Last modified on March 27, 2024

The List Monitors operation has two versions:

  • Version 1.0 returns the following monitor types: Web URL, API endpoint, email, FTP, TCP, DNS, ping.

  • Version 1.1 returns all monitors and lets you filter the returned list by specific monitor types.

In both cases, the first call needs to be to Login to get a session ID.

Request URL

Request Body

Version 1.0

XML

<List>
   <TxnHeader>
      <Request>
         <Login>_LOGIN_</Login>
         <SessionID>_SESSION_</SessionID>
      </Request>
   </TxnHeader>
   <Source>REST_Client</Source>
</List>

Version 1.1

To enable V1.1 functionality, add the <APIVersion>1.1</APIVersion> tag to your XML request body, as shown below.

V1.1 supports an additional <DeviceFilter> tag, which specify the monitors types to return. In this example, we request only secure website, ServerAgent, and DéjàClick monitors. To return all monitors, omit the <DeviceFilter> tag and its contents.
