How PRTG MultiBoard works

PRTG MultiBoard is an alternative interface that you can use to connect to your PRTG Enterprise Monitor instance to configure your setup, view monitoring results, and keep an eye on your network. It is available for Windows environments, as well as for Linux and macOS!

Using the Multi Server functionality, you can view data of all your independent PRTG servers at a glance so that you can manage your monitoring centrally.

To give you a swift overview of the available features, let's have a deeper look into the details. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

PRTG MultiBoard dashboard: Visualize your entire monitoring environment

The intuitive dashboard allows you to configure a comprehensive overview of your PRTG environment. We offer three powerful widgets to help you visualize your monitoring data:

  1. List Widget: Get a detailed overview of your servers or sensor sets in an organized list format
  2. Donut Widget: Visualize the status distribution of your entire servers for quick assessment of your system health
  3. Channel Widget: Focus on specific sensors with detailed metrics for in-depth analysis

You can easily customize these widgets to display the information most relevant to your needs. For example, place all your servers in a donut widget to instantly see the overall status of your system, or use a list widget to monitor the status of all system health sensors at a glance.

With PRTG MultiBoard's Dashboard, you'll never miss critical information about your IT infrastructure.

PRTG MultiBoard Overview: One view for all your PRTG servers

The Multi Server Overview gathers all device trees into one view. All of the options available in a single server tree are still available. In this view you can quickly navigate your entire PRTG world, inspect individual sensors or compare multiple sensors via the Compare Sensors tool, pop out graphs, and make changes to the monitoring objects.

PRTG MultiBoard Details: Complete control of your monitoring setup

The "Details" ribbon says it all. Here you can see every detail of your sensors and all of your PRTG servers. You can switch the view between table and tree. You can search for objects, use the filter function, and much more. You get the same functionality as with the PRTG web interface, with the advantage that you can see all your PRTG installations at a glance!

In the future (we are currently still in the development phase, please bear with us 🀍), you will also be able to customize objects and settings across servers.

The "Report" ribbon shows a table of statistics from all connected PRTG servers. You can use this, for example, to find out details of the sensor usage across all your servers or to get an exportable list of accounts being used. 

Probe Transfer

PRTG MultiBoard also allows you to easily transfer PRTG remote probes. This means you can move PRTG remote probes from one PRTG system to another.

The probe transfer pauses the probes on the source system so that you do not lose any historic data.

You can use this feature to test configuration changes in a staging environment or distribute the workload over several probes.

Activate desktop notifications

PRTG MultiBoard can stay in the background and alert you when needed. Enable the tray icon to receive desktop notifications and configure PRTG MultiBoard to play sounds whenever PRTG discovers changes in your network. 

For peace of mind, you can click the tray icon to see the status of all your configured servers at once or a detailed alarms list for each server.
