Hello there,
we appreciate your contact.

What sensor are you referring to? If you've deployed an "SNMP Custom" sensor, you'll be able to see the currently polled OID within the sensor's settings.

I'm looking for info about the built-in sensors, such as SNMP System Uptime, Memory: Virtual memory, etc. Any SNMP sensor that ships with PRTG.

If I created a custom sensor, of course I'll have the info about it...

Thank you for your reply.

This information is not available/disclosed I'm afraid. It's hard-coded in the sensor's and there's no way to look it up. What I can tell you is that most of this information is polled from the IF-MIB, UCD-SNMP-MIB and HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, which are "standard".
