    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for posting - we should be able to add in a sub-resource for data specific to one datapoint, or at least offer a query parameter that restricts the datapoints data is returned for.  I'll get the ball rolling on that. 

    Thanks,

    Sarah

You can now specify a datapoints query parameter to limit the data returned in the request, like this: GET /device/devices/{id}/devicedatasources/{id}/instances/{id}/data?datapoints=datapoint1,datapoint5.  Does that satisfy both of your use cases?  

Documentation updated here: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/rest-api-developers-guide/data/get-data/

@Mosh you should be able to already filter by epoch using the start and end parameters - is that what you meant by datapoint timestamp?

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for getting this pushed through so quickly - the Datapoint Filter shows me a reduced set of data which is a good start...unfortunately, it doesn't matter which datapoint I filter on, I always get the same data back even though "dataPoints" : [ "my_data_point" ], shows correctly in the result.

Should I raise this with LM support?

 

Thanks,

Tom.
