Windows GUI

The Windows GUI is one alternative interface you can use to connect to the PRTG core server to view monitoring results and keep an eye on your network. It is a native Windows application for fast access to data and provides extended popup window functionalities as well as a seamless link to the Ajax web interface where you can change your monitoring configuration and access further functionalities such as reporting, system setup, etc.

With an installation of PRTG Network Monitor, the Windows GUI is included and installed automatically on the computer running the PRTG core server. If you want to use the Windows GUI on another computer, please download and install it there, as described in the Install the Windows GUI section.

Note: The Windows GUI is mainly designed to review and manage an existing installation of PRTG which has already been set up. If you just started monitoring, we recommend you use the web interface's auto-discovery function and add your network's devices there. For detailed instructions, please see Quick Start Guide section. Once finished, you can seamlessly switch to the Windows GUI.
