PRTG Manual: Hover Popup

When you rest the mouse pointer over an object's icon in the device tree or in table lists, for example, a hover popup window appears and shows details about this object.The hover popup contains information from the object's Overview tab as well as several graphs. The exact information that PRTG provides depends on the type of object.

Hover Popup Example: Core Health Sensor

The hover popup only appears if your browser window that shows the PRTG web interface is the active window on your desktop. The hover popup disappears with every (automatic) page refresh.

Quick Action Buttons

In the top-right corner of the hover popup window, you can see several quick action buttons with which you can view or edit the object. These are the most important options from the object's context menu.

The available buttons depend on the type of object that you hover over.
