MANY PROBES FEW SENSORS

With that amount of sensors, the amount of remote probes should be no problem.

Do you recomend all 125 probes in a single core or better split the load in two cores ?

thanks :)

It should work with one server. If you want to be on the safe side, use two :)

Perfect.

Thanks for your time :)

Felix, the number of stores has raised, now we have over 300 so the multicore option is mandatory.

Obviusly, we must dristribute the probes as even as possible betwen the cores but we have just one public static IP where the cores will be deployed, i thought using NAT to assing each core to a unique Public IP:Port but is not totally clear to me if this will work because in the PRTG Network Monitor - PRTG Administration Tool u can specify a Server IP or DNS but if a IP:Port combinations is specified the systems just delete the port and keeps the IP.

So, the main question: it is possible to configure probes to conect a core server using Socket (IP:Port) ?

No, but you should be able to do this entirely via Destination NAT, somewhat like this:

[ PROBE SIDE ]
+-----------------+----------------+
| Source          | Target         |
+-----------------+----------------+
| 170.0.0.1:23560 | 171.4.2.1:1100 |
+-----------------+----------------+
                  |
             { internet }
[ CORE SIDE ]     |
+-----------------+----------------+
| Source          | Target         |
+-----------------+----------------+
| 170.0.0.1:1100  | 171.4.2.1:23560|
| 170.0.0.2:1101  | 171.4.2.2:23560|
+-----------------+----------------+

This took longer than I'd like to admit, hope it's useful :)

Was useful.

Thans for your time Stephan.
