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.

For instructions on how to add a remote probe, see the following sections:
