We are about to update our single probe server to the latest version of PRTG Network Monitor. What is the best practice to get this accomplished and not loose any data from the sensors?

Hi,
Unfortunately a short downtime is unavoidable when updating PRTG. This is because first the PRTG Core gets updated and afterwards the probes. And during the update the services are stopped and started again. So best practice here would be scheduling the the update for non office hours.
Best regards
