For a general introduction to the receiver's configuration, see section Monitoring Syslogs and SNMP Traps.You can only set it up on a local probe or a remote probe but not on a cluster probe. You cannot use this sensor in cluster mode.This sensor supports the IPv6 protocol.This makes this sensor faster than when you use source filters. Add this sensor to a specific device to directly receive all messages from this device.Add this sensor to the probe device to receive all messages of the remote probe system.Depending on the filters, received messages are counted in the respective channels. With the available filter options, you can individually define which types of messages the sensor considers for monitoring, and which messages it categorizes as warning or error messages.Providing a DNS name that points to the IP address of a whole group might not work for SANs. For example, if you want to receive messages from a storage area network (SAN), you might have to add a device to PRTG using the IP address of a specific array member that sends the messages.
If you do not add the sensor to a probe device but to a different device in PRTG, be careful with the configuration: Ensure that the IP address or Domain Name System (DNS) name of the parent device matches the proper sender.This sensor only supports the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).We recommend that you use no more than 50 sensors of this sensor type on each probe. This sensor has a very high performance impact.
