Setup guide | Multi-Platform Probe for PRTG

PRTG Manual: Setup guide

In this section, we provide a step-by-step setup guide on how to configure PRTG and install and configure a multi-platform probe on various platforms:

▪Configure NATS TLS certificate

▪Install and configure multi-platform probes

▪Configure PRTG connection

During this process, you interact with a minimum of two systems, which we define as:

1.The PRTG core server system - the Windows system that your PRTG core server runs on.

2.The remote probe system - the non-Windows system that you want to monitor with a multi-platform probe.

You might interact with more systems if you use a Docker container or have a custom setup. This guide expects you to have administrative rights on all systems.
