PRTG and Large Installations
PRTG features a powerful web interface which is realized with a lot of scripting and connections to the PRTG core server that are realized in the background to provide a nice and speedy user experience. However, with installations of several thousand sensors, especially for 4,000 sensors and more, you should turn on the Speed Mode to remain fast response times within the web interface (Setup | System Administration | System & Website --> Performance Strategy setting). On large installations > 8,000 sensors, we experienced responses coming in up to 50% faster.
What the Speed Mode Does
When enabled, the speed mode changes the following settings:
- Hides all menu sub-items which would usually show the device tree structure
- Hides Sensors | By Type, By Tag options
- Folds up all items in the device tree by default
- Hides all mini graphs
- Does not show open ToDos next to the sensor overview bar
- Monitoring data display may be delayed for up to one minute (on the web interface only)
