I'd like to get reports on all my 10G interfaces which exceed 50% utilization. As well, I'd like that to send notifications when interfaces exceed 50%. Is this possible with PRTG? And how would I set this up?

Hello there,
Thanks for the KB post.
You can't generate a report with criteria of all 10G interfaces that exceed 50% utilization. In the report option, you can only choose the type of sensor.
In order to enable notification for the interface when it exceed 50%, under the channel settings, you need to set the Data to "Display in percent of maximum" and Limits to "Enable alerting based on limits". After that set 50% in the Upper Error Limit.
For more information about channel settings, please check on this link: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/sensor_channels_settings
Thanks.
With kind regards,

Hello there,
No, it's not set under Notification Triggers.
Kindly follow my suggestion. Under the channel settings (click on the cogwheel icon near to the channel), you need to set the Data to "Display in per cent of maximum" and Limits to "Enable alerting based on limits". After that set 50% in the Upper Error Limit.
Now once the interface bandwidth is over 50%, the channel will be in down mode, hence the Notification Trigger for state will work.
Thanks.
