Dear haliminfo

PRTG itself does not offer such option. However, you could use a notification trigger which starts an executable file. This can be a powershell script. That script could use a remote-powershell connection to send a reboot command (shutdown -r) to the target computer.

Please note that this solution might not be working all the time, because if the network connectivity fails, the remote powershell connection cannot be established.
