Create Probe Status Files

In the PRTG web interface, go to Setup | System Administration | Administrative Tools. In the Probe Administrative Tools section, go to Write Probe Status Files and click the Go! button. This will write probe status text files to the Logs (System) directory of your PRTG data folder.

For Remote Probes

When you need to send state logs from the remote probes, you will use the same button as above as this will write the state files for all probes, but you will need to grab them from the remote probe directly and send them to support, they will not be included in the package that is sent from the Support Bundle or the Server Admin tool..
