PRTG Manual: Smartphone Apps

There are PRTG apps for iOS and for Android devices. You can connect to your PRTG installation with these apps while on the go. Use them as an alternative to the Mobile Web GUI interface.

iPRTG for iOS

iPRTG is the iApp for PRTG Network Monitor. Use it on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Don't let monitoring your network tie you to your desk! With iPRTG your network monitor is where your iPhone is. iPRTG is the iOS App for network administrators using the PRTG Network Monitor software to monitor and administrate their network. iPRTG is a clear and simple viewer for the entire network monitoring environment. Your iOS device requests the monitoring data directly from your PRTG server and displays it in an 'iPhonic' way.

In order to use iPRTG, your core server must be reachable from the internet. You can view monitoring data and perform certain actions, such as acknowledge alarms, pause or resume monitoring, etc. Note: The app currently does not support PRTG cluster setups!

In order to get the app, please see More section below.

PRTG for Android

PRTG for Android is the Android app for PRTG Network Monitor. Use it on your phone, your tablet, or on a Kindle Fire.

The features include:

• Multiple accounts support to query different server/login combinations. Switch easily between different accounts to quickly view monitoring data of several installations and/or accounts.
• The app can check all accounts, or only specific ones, automatically in the configured polling interval and notify you in your device's status bar whenever there are alarms for one of them.
• Configure when you want to be notified: when Alarms > 0, or when there is a certain number of new alarms, or when alarms count raised since last check. Configure notifications via the system status bar with ringtone and/or vibration (triggered for new notifications). You can exclude "Warning" or "Unusual" states from alarms count, and set up notifications based on priority.
• PRTG for Android works with your PRTG core server to show you your device tree, sensor lists, sensor data, etc., in an Android familiar way. You can add sensor gauges as well as the global sensor status as widgets to your home screen. The data display automatically adapts to your screen size, so you can see as much information as possible at a glance.
• Many features of PRTG's web interface are available to perform actions with the app: acknowledging alarms, pausing and resuming monitoring, setting priorities and favorites, running device auto-discovery, scanning the network status instantly, etc. With QR code scanning, you can jump directly to sensor.
• The app provides additional network tools such as ping, traceroute, DNS, raw HTTP, and MAC address lookups. You can use these tools also without connecting to a PRTG server.

In order to use PRTG for Android (except for the additional network tools), your core server must be reachable from the internet.
