Hi Clemens,

PRTG has got a hierarchic tree structure. All objects will be monitored by the parent remote probe. If you want to send the query from the remote probe, simply move the device below the remote probe group in PRTG. Objects located on the local probe will only be monitored from the core server machine. For more details, kindly follow this link.

Best regards, Felix
