Hello,

I have seen that is possible to monitor a host from another network with a remote probes.

I looked at your docs, but I don't understand how the remote probes work.

Best regards, Ferrara Evan

Hello,

With remote probes, you can monitor different subnetworks that are separated from your PRTG core server system by a firewall to keep an eye on remote locations. You can install one or more remote probes.

Remote probes are also useful if you want to distribute monitoring load by taking it from the PRTG core server system and putting it on one or more remote probe systems.
