Can anybody gave me advice where could i be wrong?

Those are the steps i make

1.Create a Push Monitor in api explorer digi manager
<Monitor>

2. Test the Push Monitor in api explorer digi manager

</result>

3. Perform a GET to https://dweet.io/get/dweets/for/00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FF5C525A-router-temperature to get the last five data points.

Can i upload files in this forum?

Answer 1

The Monitor you attempted to create in step 1 is not displayed in step 2. Be sure you have the path set to /ws/Monitor, the HTTP method set to POST, the content in the edit box, and then select the Send button. The response should display to the right and verify it has a 200 HTTP response code.

According to the pdf, step 2 shows the results, that the monitor is active (    <monStatus>active</monStatus>),
but in my case is not (    <monStatus>INACTIVE</monStatus>), so it is different from the monitor in step 1.

My path is set to /ws/Monitor.

According to the pdf, the HTTP method had to be set to GET (i try the POST method too, but also received error).

Answer 2

It doesn't look like you created any monitor, so I think you made a mistake on step 1.
You have to POST that payload in the API explorer or using your favorite Web service API tool.
Also I notice that the payload has a few extra spaces in it so take care to look for errors when you post the <Monitor> payload to create the first monitor.

In step 2:
The monitors that you're showing are internal monitors (used by the dashboard) to process changes to devices and are not one created manually by you.

Comments

I coped the code for the monitor in step 1, according to the pdf, and changed only the router MAC in it.

According to the pdf, the HTTP method had to be set to GET (i try the POST method too, but also received error).

I'll check the  extra spaces.

Yes, according to the pdf, step 2 shows the results, that the monitor is active (    <monStatus>active</monStatus>),
but in my case is not (    <monStatus>INACTIVE</monStatus>).

I put together a few things that might help you out along with some screenshots of a working setup.
