Hi there,

PRTG has no option to export Syslog or SNMP Trap Messages. Currently there are also no plans to implement such an option.

Best regards.

Hallo Darius,

How can I open the *.evl files in f.i. C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Syslog Database\sensor 2187\20190729\2187_2019072907.evl ?

Hi there,

These can be opened for example by notepad, but they are not readable.

Best regards.
