PRTG 8.2 Released
After weeks of feature programming and implementing new ideas, we released a new version of PRTG. Since the final release of PRTG 8 in September, we have already added many extensions and fixes. With this new release, we additionally introduce a new database format, a massive upgrade to the auto-discovery and device template systems, new sensor types, and many other improvements.
The new database can access log files, ToDos, and Toplists up to 300 times faster than previous versions. The new auto-discovery functionalities include template support for almost all devices, as well as a new way to define IP ranges for discovery. There are also three new sensor types: You can now check DHCP servers, monitor VMware disks via SSH, and monitor the traffic of Juniper jFlow-capable devices.
Please find a detailed list of changes in the PRTG 8 Version History. You should schedule a longer downtime as usual for the update process, as database conversion may take some minutes.
Update now and benefit from the new features!
