Hello,

I have a quantity of Unifi switches on my network and I'm looking to monitor the status of a number of ports.

I can get the data I need using 'AccessDevices' and find my way down to the appropriate switch and port and see the property 'up' which is what I'm interested in. What nodes do I need to 'strip out' that property from the rest of the information so I can ultimately display it in dashboard and set email notifications against it?

Thanks  
James

Thanks - I'm not sure how I attach that to the appropriate value?

Show us the output of a debug node attached to your node, set the debug node to show the complete message.

Thanks - It was the message path from the debug node that I was looking for - On the right track now.

Thanks
