TAILORED MONITORING WITH SNMP IN PRTG

Tailored Monitoring
With SNMP

You want PRTG to show values that are not included in PRTG's standard SNMP Sensors and libraries? Well you now have one more cool option! The SNMP Custom Advanced Sensor monitors up to 10 numerical values returned by specific OIDs (Object Identifiers) using a single SNMP Sensor.

How to Start Your Customized SNMP Monitoring

Specify the channel names, the relevant OIDs, the value types and units. Value types include the expected numeric type of the results at the given OID. You can choose between:

Gauge (unsigned integer): for integer values, e.g. 10 or 120

Gauge (signed integer): for integer values, e.g. -12 or 120

Gauge (float): for float values, e.g. -5.80 or 8.23

Delta (counter): PRTG will calculate the difference between
the last and the current value

To learn more about the available sensor settings, have a look at the PRTG manual.
