Hello,
I'm very new to PRTG, having switched over from SpiceWorks Network Monitor, and I was wondering if there was a way to create a visual representation of sensor data for a switch (i.e. either text showing total In/Out, bar graph).
I've got an SNMP sensor monitoring all active ports and can see individual values for those ports, but I would like a total value.
I appreciate your time and knowledge. Thank you!

If you want to summarize all ports in to a single graph - even a single bar (calculation) - this is possible with the Business Process sensor or the Sensor Factory Sensor (prob. your better choice).
But let me ask you this - what advantage do you hope to gain from this?
More interesting to me would be:
- CPU utilization of the switch
- main ports like trunk-ports to the next or core switch
- ports towards routers / firewalls
This would give you more insight - and those graphs should already exist.
Use MAPs to create overviews and how things work together - keep em lean and clean but add some graphs - and you will see how your components work together and probably even gain insight where bottlenecks originate at certain points in time.
