Hey,
Is there a way to create a script that you can insert ( in the script code or with a GUI ) the segment you want to auto-discover and it will create the following:
1. Create a new Group in the PRTG console
2. Discover all the devices to that group
3. Add sensors according to the script
is it possible?
i tried looking for something over the web but my results came out with nothing useful
thanks

Hello,
thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm very much afraid we ourselves do not have any guides or examples on scripted adding of devices. Our PRTG Users from Lockstep have written a blog post though, that goes into this direction
Automatic Network Device Monitoring With PRTG. I hope this does then help.
best regards.
