You could also use the HTTP Advanced sensor with the following URL:
http://<your-prtg-server>/group.htm?id=0&tabid=1&username=<your-prtguser>&passhash=<your-passhash>
...and make it watch for the keyword PRTG System Administrator (or whatever username you use for logging in). This way you can monitor if login works properly.

Well, there are several methods:
- Create a device on both probes with ping sensors
- Use a HTTP XML/Rest sensor to check the Version node:
http://<your-prtg-host>/api/getstatus.xml?id=0&username=<your-prtguser>&passhash=<your-passhash> - Check if the PRTG services are running properly using the WMI Service sensor. You can also make this sensor restart the service (PRTG Core Server Service and PRTG Probe Service) in case they don't respond anymore.
