PRTG Manual: PRTG MultiBoard

PRTG MultiBoard is a PRTG extension that functions as an alternative interface for PRTG. It is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux and you can use it to connect to one or several independent PRTG core servers or PRTG Hosted Monitor instances to configure your setup, view monitoring results, and keep an eye on your network. It is a cross-platform application for fast access to data and monitoring management.

PRTG MultiBoard natively includes most PRTG features. For a few options, the application opens an external browser window using your default browser, for example, for system setup or probe installation.

i_round_bluePRTG MultiBoard is mainly designed to review and manage PRTG installations that you already set up. If you have just started with monitoring, we recommend that you first run through the smart setup in the PRTG web interface and add your network devices there. Once finished, you can seamlessly switch to PRTG MultiBoard.

i_podPRTG Hosted Monitor supports connections from PRTG MultiBoard. For more information, see section Using PRTG Hosted Monitor.
