PRTG Manual: Reports
Reports are used to analyze historic monitoring results over a specified time such as one or more days, one month, or an entire year. You can create reports for all, or only for certain sensors.
PRTG includes a powerful reporting engine for ad-hoc, as well as scheduled report generation in HTML and PDF format. Thus, reports can be run on demand or on a regular basis (e.g. once a day). You can create reports for one single sensor, or you choose a range of sensors you want to create a report for. The content and layout of the report is controlled by the report template of your choice and is the same for all sensors in a report.

For performance reasons, PRTG automatically averages monitoring data when calculating data for large time spans. Data is then averaged regardless of the selected average interval.
Time Span in Report |
Minimum Level of Detail (Average Interval) |
Up to 40 days |
Any |
40 to 500 days |
60 minutes/1 hour or larger |
A report for a time span of more than 500 days is not possible. If you try to set a larger time span, it will be reduced to 365 days automatically.
