Can PRTG update SNMP location from device?

Votes:

0

Hi

I'm trying to add correct location information in my Cisco-devices. It is possible to add an address in Cisco-devices with the global command: "snmp-server location xxx, xxx". When I add this information, I'd like PRTG monitor to update that information from my devices. The only way I can do this now is to delete and add the device. Is it possible to make PRTG Monitor refresh or update that information?

I'm afraid that isn't currently possible. Sorry.

I'd like to update many devices to use the SNMP MIB-2 System location (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6 - sysLocation) value.

Is there a way to do this now in 2023?
