PRTG Sensor Hub

In addition to the built-in sensors, you can create your owns. You can write a script or a program and use it with a custom sensor. There are already many free, useful scripts, plugins, and add-ons for PRTG in the PRTG Sensor Hub. You can also directly open the PRTG Sensor Hub from the Add Sensor dialog in the PRTG web interface.

i_square_cyanTo use the sensors in the PRTG Sensor Hub, go to https://www.paessler.com/sensor-hub and follow the instructions there.
