PRTG Manual: List of Available Sensor Types

Here you can find a list of all available sensors, including their category, the version they were introduced in, their performance impact, IP version, meta-scan capability, device template capability, notification triggers, and what they monitor.

In the Add a Sensor assistant, you have various options to filter for suitable sensors. You can also filter for device template capability, IP version, and meta-scan functionality, among others, via /sensorlist.htm, for example https://yourserver/sensorlist.htm.
