PRTG Manual: Desktop Notifications

While you are logged in to the PRTG web interface with one of the supported browsers, PRTG can show notifications on your desktop whenever there are new alarms in your monitoring.

PRTG shows desktop notifications (by default, in the lower-right corner of your desktop) whenever there are new alarms after a page refresh in the PRTG web interface. The notification displays the number of new alarms and the current number of each sensor status.

Desktop Notifications Settings

When you log in to the PRTG web interface, a message appears, asking you to allow desktop notifications. You must initially allow the notifications for each installation or profile of your browser. The message varies slightly in each browser.

Desktop notifications in Google Chrome are not available for HTTP connections. See section User Interface for more information.

Disabling or Re-Enabling Desktop Notifications

To disable or re-enable desktop notifications for the PRTG web interface, edit your browser options. You can usually find the notification settings by clicking the site information icon in the address bar of your browser. For detailed steps, see the documentation for your browser.

Others

There are some settings that you must define in the PRTG Administration Tool. For more information, see sections:
