Is it possible to get a warning if someone connect an unknown device to my network. PRTG know all my used IP on my network, and could maybe discover "news" on network ??
Thanks

Hello.
This is not something PRTG is designed to resolve.
While auto-discovery as activated it will create new tickets once it finds/creates new devices, you could even use some sort of notification trigger that would "always" be activated and send out notifications, or use a device template with very low limits that would always be triggered, but none of this is an elegant solution as this is not something PRTG is designed to do.
I believe the best solution for this would be some sort of custom sensor and use PRTG only to display the status and send notifications, but all the logic would have to be implemented on the script/application. For details on Custom Exe/XML Sensors please see the Manual Page.
As a starting point, check the Test-Connection Powershell cmdlet.
