PRTG Traffic Grapher - User Manual

Working With Sensors

You can find the list of sensors in the middle of the main Window:

Each sensor in the list is shown with its name and the current reading, as well as the IP address, interval, sensor type, and comment.

Sensors that can not be accessed (e.g. due to misconfiguration, network problems, or outage of the device) are shown with a red background.

A yellow background symbolizes a paused state (paused by the user or by licensing).

Using the toolbar you can add new sensors as well as delete or edit the existing sensors. Use Start and Stop to pause and resume monitoring of a sensor or a group.

Using drag&drop you can change the order of the sensors or drag a sensor from one group into another one. Use CTRL and SHIFT while clicking a sensor to select more than one sensor at once.

Double click a sensor to edit it. Editing the different sensor types is described a little later in this manual.

To edit the settings of several sensors at once select the sensors and click on Edit.

There is also a context menu for the sensors that enables you to work with the sensors:
