Hello, if i make a report (i.e. for ping sensors) with interval 60 seconds or any other interval i get the availability without decimal places, for example for Pingsensor X i get uptime 6%

i wanted to check the values so made a respective API Call on /api/historicdata.csv i get the csv file. For one timespan for example in the column downtime(raw) the value is "26.6667" but in the column downtime besides it the value is "27%" so it was rounded. In the last row which says Average (from x values) the uptime is stated without decimal places. If i make an average of the downtime(raw) myself i get for example the value 59153,62158 which corresponds to round about 5,92% downtime.

My question is, is it possible to change the accuracy of the uptime/downtime in the reports one can make in the WEB GUI (for example as a pdf file) so that the uptime for my Pingsensor X is stated as for example 5,92 % or 5,915 % and so on but not just 6%. So the reporting engine of prtg has access to the raw values but rounds the percentages.

Hello,

in the report, those times are rounded; this cannot be changed. If you really need higher precision, please use the API call for historic data.

(Normally, the value is closer to 100% so the relative error is quite small in those cases.)

Hello, thanks for your reply. can this question then changed to a improvement-request?

Hello,

feature requests can be done this way.

As PRTG is developed as off-the-shelf software, we implement only features for which we expect wide usage. We are especially careful with adding new options, as every new option makes the interface more complex.
