PRTG Manual: PRTG Status Monitor
The PRTG Status monitor is used to display the status of PRTG monitors within UVexplorer. When enabled UVexplorer will poll the status of the PRTG device state and display that state within UVexplorer. UVexplorer can also alert on changes to the state of a PRTG monitor.
A PRTG monitor can be created automatically when devices are exported to PRTG by selecting the 'Create PRTG status monitor' option. PRTG monitors can also be created in the UVexplorer monitor section by selecting 'PRTG Monitors' in the left pane and pressing the '+' button in the bottom left corner of the center pane. Created monitors can be edited by selecting the wrench button in the bottom left of the center pane.
Name
The monitor name is used to reference the monitor within the application and when monitor notifications are created.
PRTG Target
The PRTG target is the PRTG server whose devices states will be monitored. See PRTG Server Settings for more information on configuring PRTG server settings.
The devices tab shows the devices monitored by the current monitor. The monitor state of the device will be displayed here as well
Adding Devices
Devices can be added to the monitor by pressing the '+' button in the lower left corner of the device list. A device picker will be presented containing the devices available to monitor. See Monitor Device Picker for more information on adding devices to monitors.
Removing Devices
Devices can be removed from the monitor by selecting them in the device list and pressing the 'x' button.
Device Sensors
UVexplorer allows you to specify which PRTG sensors to monitor within the PRTG Monitor. When a PRTG Monitor is created by exporting devices and groups to PRTG the sensors selected at export will be added to the Monitor. To add or change sensors from the PRTG monitor editor either double select a device in the list or select the device in the list and press the 'wrench' button in the lower left corner of the list. An editor containing the available monitors will be presented.
See Configuring Monitors for information about configuring the schedule, events, and history of a monitor.
