Specifying sensors on a group

Votes:

0

I'm very new to PRTG and still working through the manual and playing with it, so forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere already.

I have a couple of subnets of workstations that I want to monitor, but I only want to use a limited number of sensors with these devices. The group should Autodiscover the devices, but I don't need to have the workstations monitored in detail, so just a basic set (ping, CPU, Memory, % Disk usage) would be sufficient.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to get this set up please?

Thanks in advance.

Configure your sensors on one example machine and use this machine to create a template (right-click on the device name -> "Create device template"). This device can be used for auto-discovery by configuring the other hosts of the group to be discovered using your template.
