PRTG Manual: Scheduled Discovery PRTG Export
When a scheduled discovery completes the discovered devices and selected topology maps can be exported to PRTG. This allows UVexplorer to update devices in PRTG as changes are discovered.
Enable Export
Specifies whether to export at discovery completion. This also provides a convenient way to pause export if needed.
Server Settings
In order to export to PRTG, UVexplorer needs to communicate with your PRTG server.
The server settings drop down list is used to select an available PRTG server to export to. If your server is not shown in the list you will need to configure the PRTG server settings using the 'Settings' button to the right of the list. See PRTG Server Settings for more information on configuring the server settings.
Summary
The summary provides a brief description of the configuration of the selected PRTG server settings.
Parent Group
Parent Group specifies the parent of the PRTG group the devices will be exported to. The parent group must be chosen by selecting the 'Browse' button, a list of Groups available on the PRTG server will be presented.
Group Name
This specifies the group the devices will be exported to. Type the name of the group here. A new group will be created on the initial discovery and updated thereafter.
Sensors
When devices are exported to PRTG UVexplorer can automatically create monitors for those devices. Monitors are created using detailed knowledge of the devices, such as creating interface monitors only for interfaces that have connections. To create monitors on export select which monitors you would like to include and UVexplorer will make sure those monitors are only created for devices where it makes sense.
Create Device/Sensors using Template Tags
Exported devices can be configured by cloning an existing PRTG device. Select this option to create devices and senors by cloning PRTG devices/sensors. Select the 'View/Edit Tag Mappings' button to manage the export template configuration. See PRTG Export Templates for more information.
Export Maps
In addition to exporting the discovered devices, multiple topology maps can be exported at the completion of a discovery as well. This allows you to keep the topology maps updated on a recurring basis, as changes are detected.
