I have one PRTG server and am monitoring some switches and firewalls with it. I however am running out of resources on the server. I see I can make a cluster or add remote probes. What is the best way to add capacity to the system so I can monitor more switches and routers with PRTG?
Increase PRTG capacity

Hi Joe,
please take a look at our system requirements, which explain, how much resources you should provide for which amount of sensors:

?Also take a look at our "performance tuning guide", how you can speed up your PRTG installation:

A Cluster will not improve, but essentially half, the amount of sensors you can monitor with the same resources.
Using Remote Probes is also the recommended way for scaling PRTG.
