"During a connection loss a buffer stores a maximum of 500,000 sensor results in RAM memory of the remote probe system (up to 50 - 200 MB). This means that for 100 sensors with one minute interval the monitoring results of up to 3 days can be buffered (or 52 minutes for 10,000 sensors with one minute interval). The probe automatically reconnects to the core as soon as it is available again and transmits all monitoring results gathered during the connection loss.", please see PRTG Manual: Remote Probes and Multiple Probes

Hello,

are you referring to a PRTG Probe? Or a normal networking device like a switch or a router?

best regards
