I would like to use the SSH sensors of PRTG to monitor my macOS system. How do I enable SSH on this target?

Enabling Remote Login on macOS

  1. On your macOS system, go to System Preferences and open Sharing.
    Sharing
  2. Enable the Remote Login option.
    On

Note: Not all SSH sensors in PRTG support macOS systems. For a compatibility list, see the Knowledge Base: Which Linux or macOS distributions are supported by the Linux/Unix sensors (SSH, SNMP)?
