PRTG Manual: Docker container
Once you create a configuration file, use the Docker image to create a multi-platform probe.
1.Create a new container with the multi-platform probe image:
docker run -it \
--network bridge \
-v ./scripts:/opt/paessler/share/scripts:ro \
-v ./config:/config \
--cap-add NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add NET_RAW \
paessler/multi-platform-probe:latest
Parameter |
Description |
docker run -it |
Starts a container and makes it interactive. |
--network bridge |
Specifies that the container uses the default bridge network.
|
-v |
Mounts a volume on the Docker container that allows the container to access and store data on the host machine based on the provided path. The volume follows the format /path/on/host/system:/path/on/docker. In this command, you mount the following volumes: ▪./scripts:/opt/paessler/share/scripts:ro: Mounts a volume to access any custom scripts you want to use with the multi-platform probe, such as with the Script v2 sensor. ▪./config:/config: Mounts a volume of the /config directory. This applies the configuration file that you created to the multi-platform probe container. |
--cap-add NET_ADMIN --cap-add NET_RAW |
Adds the NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW capabilities to the container.
|
paessler/multi-platform-probe:latest |
Points to the image that the container starts from and the version of the image it pulls. |
This parameter is necessary for the 
If you create a multi-platform probe without specifying a name, the multi-platform probe appears on PRTG with a name that follows the format multi-platform-probe@<container ID>. If you want to define the name of a multi-platform probe, use the --env PRTGMPPROBE__NAME parameter:
docker run -it \
--env PRTGMPPROBE__NAME="Example Remote Probe"
--network bridge \
-v ./scripts:/opt/paessler/share/scripts:ro \
-v ./config:/config \
--cap-add NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add NET_RAW \
paessler/multi-platform-probe:latest
2.Verify that the Docker container is running:
docker ps -a
Go to Configure PRTG connection.
