Tags

A tag is a keyword or descriptive term associated with a sensor as means of classification. Tags will especially help you if you have a large number of sensors.

After sorting sensors into groups the method of tagging is a second way to categorize your sensors. For example you can group the sensors in your sensorlist by device (“Switch 1”, “Switch 2” and “Switch 3”).

Now you can associate the tag “printers” to all switch ports that are connected to printers. Now you can click on “printers” in the taglist and PRTG will only show the sensors which are associated with the “printers” tag.

Tags are created by the user (you can enter any number of tags for one or more sensors) and automatically created by PRTG (e.g. the tag “OK” for a sensor that works fine or “Error” for a sensor that shows an error),

Tagging allows for multiple "browseable paths" through the items which can quickly and easily be altered with minimal effort and planning.

In the main window you can click on the Display button above the taglist to change the sort order of the tags. Click on Favorite to save the current tag combination into a favorite. Click on No Tags to disable the filtering and to see all sensors again.
