Good day I want to use PRTG (client) as MQTT client and send messages to my Raspberry Pi (broker). Everything works fine without TLS. Now I want to encrypt the communication. Do you have exact instructions? Which certificates and keys are required if I only use PRTG as a client?What is meant with Client Key Password ? Which TLS version does PRTG support? The PRTG instructions are not detailed enough for me. Thank you for your support.

Hello,
PRTG supports up to TLS version 1.2, TLS 1.3 is not yet supported. As for the certificate, we do not have any specific instructions, it is only required that it is in the PEM format. Some further details about the Send MQTT Publish Notification option in PRTG can be found in the manual.
Kind regards,
