PRTG Manual: Configuration Capture
Device configurations can be captured for a single device using the Capture Configuration tool.
Launching Configuration Capture
The configuration capture tool can be launched by selecting the 'Capture Config' context menu item from the device context menu. The device context menu is available by right clicking the device in the Device List, or on the Topology Map. The tool is also available in the 'Tools' tab on the main view of UVexplorer.
Using Configuration Capture tool
In the capture configuration tool you can select the device and the credential to use during the configuration capture. Either Telnet or SSH credentials must be used to connect with the device. Devices that do not provide a command line terminal are not supported at this time. You can choose to capture either the Startup or Running configuration or both. Once you have selected the device, credentials, and configurations you want to capture select the 'Capture' button and the configuration capture process will begin. The task progress form will be launched to display the task progress.
When the configuration capture is complete the configuration will be available for viewing on the device properties configuration tab.
