How can I import over 500 devices from a TXT or CSV file (with name and IP) into PRTG and add them to an auto-discovery group?


Although there is the option to simply copy the entire IP column from the CSV and create a new auto discovery group. Use List of individual IPs and DNS Names as the IP Selection Method. Paste the IP list there (one IP per line) and change the settings for the sensor management to your likings. The names should then be automatically discovered via DNS/WMI/SNMP per default.
