1. Prerequisites
To deploy the PRTG Multi-Platform (MP) Probe there must be an understanding to how it communicates to the PRTG Core. This is achieved using a NATS-Server.
The NATS-Server is not required to be running on the same machine as the PRTG Core or MP Probe application, but can be run separate. For the probe to function it does need a running NATS-Server to communicate with. Details on this installation are in the official manual, and outside the scope of this deployment.
The following prerequisites are needed:
- First item
- Second item
