Is there any way to disable "Unusual" alerts?

Votes:

1

We are using PRTG to monitor out systems, however we are not interested in Unusual (orange) alerts.

PRTG looks a bit like a christmas tree at the moment.

Is there any way for us to remove the testing for unusual circumstance without deleting the tests themselves? We would like them all to appear green.

Dear Albert,

The unusual detection can be configured via Setup / System Administration / Monitoring.

Enabling/disabling is done on a per-object basis. Since it is by default inherited down, you can disable this in the "Advanced Network Analysis" section of the device tree root node.

In PRTG's web interface, you can disable unusual detection in the System and Website settings.

In the Unusual Detection section, set both settings to Never.
