I can't figure out how to create an alert. I want to know via a text message when a PC on my LAN stops communicating.
Thanks, Docfxit

Hi Docfxit,
You can configure your own notifications here:"Setup > Account Settings > Notifications. Mark the Send Mail Box at the bottom and fill in the email address. It will also be possible to postpone emails and to collect emails for a defined time.
After that you can add this notification to any object in PRTG (groups, devices, sensors). Just click on the Notification Tab and add a state trigger to the object. Here, you can also decide when these emails are sent out (after 60 seconds, 120 seconds...). This can help to avoid email flooding.
Please have a look at these articles for further, more detailed information:
