Whenever an object is deleted PRTG writes a log file entry into the log of the parent object. So please check the parent's log.

The log entries look like this:

Child Object Deleted 
Deleted sensor: PING 75 1

To see a list of all object deleted entries, you can use the following URL:

http://YOURPRTGSERVER/log.htm?filter_status=506

It will display all these log file entries.

To find out who has deleted a child object, select the object link (e.g. the device), then select the "History" tab (the right-most). It will tell you who has deleted the object.

hallo,

not at the moment, sorry.

only loading a previous configuration file will bring back deleted items now.
