Paessler Hosted Monitor, officially named PRTG Hosted Monitor, brings infrastructure monitoring into a cloud service managed by Paessler. A Paessler Hosted Monitor license combines sensor capacity with hosting, core-server updates, and backups. Choose a PRTG Hosted Monitor subscription when your team needs visibility across networks and applications without maintaining its own PRTG core server.
The purchasing decision starts with monitoring scope: which services matter, how many measurements they require, and where probes will collect them. GoLicense helps align the subscription with your sites, connectivity, and expected growth.
Quick Benefits
- Cloud hosting managed by Paessler
- Automatic core-server updates and backups
- Private-network monitoring through remote probes
- Custom dashboards, alerts, and historical reports
- Sensor plans that match changing monitoring requirements

Features & Benefits
Managed Hosting and Lower Maintenance
Paessler operates the hosted core server and handles its updates and backups. Your administrators can focus on monitoring configuration, thresholds, and incident response. An available AWS region can be selected for the instance; check location requirements before ordering.
Distributed Visibility Across Hybrid Environments
Remote probes collect measurements inside private networks and forward results to the hosted instance. This supports branch offices and hybrid infrastructure without exposing every monitored device publicly. Maps and dashboards bring device health, application availability, and performance trends into a shared operational view.
Actionable Alerts and Capacity Planning
Thresholds, notifications, and historical reports help teams identify service interruptions and recurring bottlenecks. Sensor capacity can be adjusted through available subscription plans. Define essential measurements first, then reserve room for additional interfaces, applications, and sites.
License Overview
The subscription licenses a sensor allowance for the hosted monitoring instance. A sensor monitors one aspect of a device or service, such as an interface’s traffic or an HTTP endpoint’s availability. A single device commonly needs several sensors; device count alone cannot determine the correct plan.
Hosting is part of the service. Subscription administration takes place through the Hosted Monitor customer portal. Confirm the offered term, renewal conditions, and timing of capacity changes with your quotation.
Product Overview
PRTG Hosted Monitor combines a cloud-based core server and hosted probe with probes deployed near private resources. Administrators use the web interface to organize devices and sensors, review measurements, and configure alerts. Supported monitoring technologies include SNMP, ICMP, HTTP, and application-specific integrations, depending on the sensor and probe platform.
Within our Network License range, this deployment suits teams that prefer a managed monitoring service while retaining control of monitoring policies and local collection.
Core Technical Flow
Devices and services provide measurements to the appropriate probe. The probe forwards results to the hosted core, which stores monitoring data and evaluates sensor states. Dashboards present the results, while configured notifications reach the responsible team. Probe placement determines which private segments can be monitored.
Options & Licensing Models
Choose capacity from the sensor inventory, including anticipated growth. These plans use the same hosted deployment model.
| Plan | Sensor Capacity | Planning Fit |
|---|---|---|
| HOSTED 500 | Up to 500 | Focused monitoring scope |
| HOSTED 1000 | Up to 1,000 | Broader small-environment coverage |
| HOSTED 2500 | Up to 2,500 | Growing hybrid infrastructure |
| HOSTED 5000 | Up to 5,000 | Larger monitoring inventories |
| HOSTED 10000 | Up to 10,000 | Extensive hosted monitoring scope |
Compatibility & Requirements
Private-network monitoring requires a supported remote probe host, access to target devices, appropriate monitoring credentials, and connectivity to the hosted service. Multi-platform probes support selected Linux-based environments, but available sensors differ by platform. Validate each required sensor before choosing the probe operating system.
Hosted Monitor provides no RDP access to the core server and no customer-configured failover cluster. Some sensor types must run on a remote probe. Fully isolated networks require a different deployment model.
Activation & Deployment
Prepare the customer account, select an available hosting region, and provision the instance. Associate the subscription through the customer portal, install and authorize the required probes, then configure devices and sensors. Test connectivity, alert delivery, and dashboard access before expanding monitoring.
Pricing & Quote Process
Send GoLicense your estimated sensor count, number of sites, preferred term, hosting-location requirements, and probe platforms. Include required integrations and growth expectations. These details support a suitable plan recommendation and a custom Hosted Monitor quote.
