Resetting Data

Modified on 2025-06-10 13:55:49 +0200

Hi,

I would like to start over with PRTG, and wipe all the historical data. Is there a way to do that, or do I need to reinstall?

Thanks

Hi,
to wipe all historic data, just stop your PRTG services (Core and Probe) and go to the data directory. There delete or rename the folder Monitoring Database. When starting PRTG it should come up with the same configuration but no monitoring data. If you want to reset the installation completely, jsut delete or rename the complete Data Directory.
Best regards
