Periodically we have a higher than normal amount traffic accross a particular interface. How can we use PRTG to find out where this traffic is originating from? Could Similar Sensors Analysis help us with this?

Hi,
yes, the similar sensor analysis could be one approach to find the device causing the bandwidth peaks. As an alternative you might also have a look at this article which describes also how to identify such devices.
Best regards
