Hi all,
is there a possibility to create a Sensor that monitor if a remote probe is up/down?
I've got all of my sensors in 3 probes and when 1 of these probes go down I don't receive any error, and this is not good because if the remote probe go down I need to be informed asap.
How can I do it?

Hi Andrea,
When a remote probe is not reachable, this will lead to the probe health sensor on the remote probe to go into error state, you can add a state trigger there on tab "Notifications" in case there are currently none configured.
Additionally you can add each remote probe as a separate device to "Local Probe" of the PRTG server and monitor them with ping sensors and a service sensors that checks if service "PRTG Probe" is running.
Kind regards,
