PRTG Manual: Add a Sensor

Note: This documentation refers to the PRTG System Administrator user accessing the Ajax interface on a master node. For other user accounts, interfaces, or nodes, not all of the options might be available as described. When using a cluster installation, failover nodes are read-only by default.

To manually add a sensor, select Sensors | Add Sensor from the main menu. An assistant will appear, leading you through two steps. For faster setup, you can select Add Sensor... in the context menu of a device to which you want to add the new sensor. This will skip step 1 and lead you directly to step 2.

  • Step 1
    Please select Add sensor to an existing device and choose a device you want to add the new sensor to. Click on Continue.

For more information, please see the manual section of the respective sensor. See List of Available Sensor Types section to find detailed information about every sensor.
