Data extraction reference

The data extraction interface can extract data from Network Monitor with HTTP Get commands.

Prerequisite

Each get request sent to Network Monitor must include a operator username and the operator must be flagged for Auto login. If the user is also flagged as a system administrator, the user has system wide access. Otherwise the information is restricted to the data controlled by the operator groups the operator is member of. If the operator is not allowed to access the information Network Monitor returns an HTTP 404 error code.

The format of the URL sent to Network Monitor contains some required parameters.
