Hi All

I want to add devices via the JSON Query monitor type. The problem is that the source of these devices is behind a session based API. So I cannot use basic authentication to retrieve them, I need to have an active cookie which is set when I call the API. Anyone have any idea how to set up such a monitor in Uptime Kuma? If it is even possible?

TIA.

You will have to use the push monitor and write monitoring with session handling and your query into a small cronjob
