I have about 6 remote Linux servers. Some of them are on Digital Ocean. How to include them in PRTG for monitoring?

Hello David,
Thank you for your message.
I'm afraid that the monitoring of Linux servers is limited, especially when these servers are on an other network. However, you can install a remote probe next to your Linux servers on Digital Ocean and then send the data back to PRTG via one port only (TCP 23560).
With a remote probe, you will be able to monitor basic aspects of your servers (CPU, RAM, Disk) via SNMP. To monitor specific aspects like services, you can use a remote probe and execute custom script on the servers via the SSH Script sensors. https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/available_sensor_types#linux
You can also develop a script to send data to PRTG via the HTTP Push Data sensors:
- HTTP Push Data : https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/http_push_data_sensor
- HTTP Push Data Advanced : https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/http_push_data_advanced_sensor
Kind regards.
