PRTG Manual: Add Remote Probe
Remote probes can extend your monitoring with PRTG.
▪With remote probes, you can monitor different subnetworks that are separated from your PRTG core server by a firewall, and you can keep an eye on remote locations. You can install one or more remote probes.
▪Remote probes are useful if you want to distribute monitoring load by taking it from the PRTG core server system and putting it on one or more remote probe systems.
▪You need a remote probe if you want to monitor your local network with a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance.
