How can I monitor multiple devices with one or 2 sensors?

Votes:

0

I created a manual sensor, but I don't want to create the same sensor for each device I want to monitor. The devices are the same routers, so the sensor should work for all of the added devices. How can this be done? The routers are on the WAN and for each one of them I activated SNMP, but since I am running the free version, I get to limit to 5 routers (each router with 2 or one sensor) take up the 10 free sensors. Can this be done? one or two sensors to monitor the whole group?

hallo,

you can configure one device and then clone it.

one sensor is required for the probe health! That one can not be deleted, sorry.

Ok, that works for keeping the same settings for the sensors, but still have the limit of 10 sensors, so the 10 sensors for this "new device" are not licensed, so they are paused. It does not work as I expected. Thanks

You would need to purchase a commercial license allowing to monitor more than 10 sensors. It is not possible to break up a sensor into two sensors. Sorry.
