How Update checking with PRTG works

A sensor scans Windows operating systems for their current version, then inquires online as to the most current version available. If the two do not match, the administrator will be notified as instructed or an update will be arranged.

An example: PRTG features the preinstalled Windows Updates Status (Powershell) Sensor so you can be sure your Windows is always up-to-date.

4 good reasons
to choose PRTG as your update checking tool

iWhat is a sensor?

In PRTG, “Sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, e.g. the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, the free space of a disk drive. On average you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

The many advantages of PRTG:
