What exactly is PRTG Data Exporter?
PRTG Data Exporter is a game-changer for IT administrators and professionals who demand more control and flexibility over their monitoring data. Here are some scenarios in which PRTG Data Exporter can be your go-to solution:
1️⃣ Advanced Data Analysis: When PRTG's native reporting tools are not enough for your analytical needs, PRTG Data Exporter steps in. It allows you to use existing reporting tools in your company to dive deeper into your data, enabling advanced analytics that can uncover valuable insights.
2️⃣ Relational Database Storage: If you prefer to store your monitoring data in a relational database management system (RDBMS) such as MSSQL, Oracle or others, PRTG Data Exporter makes it possible. This allows efficient data queries and integration with other tools and systems.
