PRTG for Android is a free Android app that connects your smart phone or tablet to your PRTG installation.
PRTG for Android brings the power of the PRTG Network Monitor interface to your Android 4.0+ devices. With this app you can keep an eye on your network while on the go. All you need is an Android phone or tablet, or a Kindle Fire. The app supports checking multiple accounts in the background and can alert you whenever new alarms occur in any account.
Regardless of whether you use PRTG for Android on a high resolution 10" tablet or on your mobile phone - data display always adapts to your screen size, so you see as much information as possible at a glance. You can review monitoring data, run auto-discovery, set favorites and priorities, and you can achieve many other everyday network monitoring tasks.
In addition, helpful network tools come along with PRTG for Android. You can use them even without connecting to a PRTG core server.

Configure notifications via the system status bar with ringtone and/or vibration (triggered for new notifications). You can even exclude "Warning" or "Unusual" states from alarms count, and set up notifications based on priority.
- Show Data: The app works with your PRTG core server to show you your device tree, sensor lists, sensor data - everything, in a familiar Android way. You can even add sensor gauges, as well as the global sensor status, as widgets to your home screen. Data display automatically adapts to your screen size, so you see as much information as possible at a glance.
