PRTG Manual: Add Remote Probe
Remote probes can extend your monitoring with PRTG:
- Monitor different subnetworks that are separated from your PRTG core server by a firewall, and keep an eye on remote locations. You can install one or more remote probes.
- Distribute monitoring load by taking it from the PRTG core server system and putting it on one or more remote probe systems.
You need a remote probe if you want to monitor your local network with a PRTG Hosted Monitor instance.
There are three types of remote probes:
Classic Remote Probe
