Custom sensor for PRTG to allow you to check a clients view of
- DNS, Can client resolve dns queries
- Ping, Ping hosts and measure response times and packet loss for multiple hosts
- NTP, Measure time drift of client time to NTP server
- sshremote, run a version of this app remotely through a jumpbox/proxy
- genDocs, Generate documentation
Tested with PRTG Version 19.3.51.2722 XMR-Stak Version 2.10.4
Place binary in PRTG folder on monitored host (this may be different on your install)
- Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXEXML
- Linux: /var/prtg/scriptsxml
This can also be compiled onto any Golang supported platform
Linux and windows versions will be found in the release pages of Github
This library attempts to send an "unprivileged" ping via UDP.
On linux, this must be enabled on the client by setting
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647"
See this blog and the Go icmp library for more details.
- install Golang
- download or clone repo
- run
go getto download required packages - run
go build - move the binary to the correct place
There are likely to be other small steps here as things may vary on your systems, If you need a OS binary and not in a rush drop me a request
Add this to PRTG as an advanced custom exe / ssh script
Please see individual docs for usage or use genDocs subcommand to generate man or rest format prtg_util genDocs
- prtg_client_util - simple prtg tests for remote nodes
- prtg_client_util dns - DNS resolve test
- prtg_client_util genDocs - Create documentation for app
- prtg_client_util ntp - Check local time vs ntp server time,
- prtg_client_util ping - Ping list of addresses, return avgRTT by default
- prtg_client_util sshremote - run command remotely through ssh tunnel via jumphost / proxy
