PRTG Manual: PRTG Server Settings

In order to export to PRTG, UVexplorer needs to communicate with your PRTG server. The PRTG server connection settings are stored as a PRTG credential within UVexplorer and can be accessed using the Credential Manager available in the PRTG export wizard and the export dialog.

To create new PRTG server settings select the '+' button within the credential manager and new PRTG settings will be created.

Configuration

Name

The settings name is the name you choose to identify a particular PRTG server; this is especially useful if you are exporting to multiple servers.

Server URL

The server URL is the address of your PRTG server. If the server is on the same machine as UVexplorer you can use the local address, for example: "http://127.0.0.1/". If the server is available on your local network you can use the IP address of the machine the server is installed on, for example: "http://192.168.1.15". If the server is available on a remote network the address or domain name for the server should be used. If PRTG is running on a port other than 80 the port should be specified: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/".

Username

Username is the account name for your PRTG system. The default is 'admin'.

Passhash

Passhash is a hash of your password PRTG provides for authenticating with their server. The hash is available within PRTG in Account Settings page accessed using the 'Setup - Account Settings - My Account' link.

Testing Configuration

PRTG server configuration can be tested within the PRTG export wizard by selecting the 'Test' button. UVexplorer will attempt to communicate with the PRTG server using the URL, username and passhash provided. If the server is available a message displaying the PRTG version will be displayed.
