Hi everyone,
I have an older version of PRTG(15.x) where I monitor the BGP state using the SNMP sensor
linux snmp (ax bgp disman etherlike host) -> bgp peer state
When I add the sensor it automatically add the Ip to the name (ex. bgp peer state 10.1.1.2).
Now I'm a PRTG 20.4 and when I add the sensor the name is only bgp peer name. Why is that?
I need PRTG to automatially add the IP to the sensor since otherwise it's impossible to use them properly.
