Therein lies your issue. The method takes two arrays, the first is for the monitor names, the second is for the property types. This method was designed a bit different that some of the others in our API. For this method, you must pass in a pair of monitor name and type for the n'th index in each array. As you noticed, in your code you were querying the following attributes from the following monitor templates:

 

 

 template -> property 
 http -> ITYPE_INTERVAL 
 https -> ITYPE_TIMEOUT 
 tcp -> ITYPE_PROBE_NUM_PROBES 
 icmp -> ITYPE_PROBE_NUM_SUCCESSES 
 udp -> ITYPE_PROBE_TIMEOUT 
 ftp -> ???

 

 

The ftp entry will be ignored since there were only 5 entries in the property type array.

 

 

The correct logic would have been to pass in 5 entries with all 5 monitor template names being the same value for the template you were requesting.

 

 

Let me know if you run into any other issues...
