PRTG Satellite
Bring the devices and sensors monitored by your Paessler PRTG platform into the CMDB — securely and read-only.
Paessler PRTG Network Monitor
PRTG resources brought into the CMDB
- Network devices discovered by PRTG (via SNMP and other probes)
- Device names, addresses & monitoring metadata
- Each device rolled into the CMDB as a managed asset
- The sensors attached to each device
- What each sensor monitors and its status
- SSL certificate sensors & their expirations
Deploy alongside your PRTG server
Run the PRTG Satellite as a Docker container or install it on any supported Linux host — ideally within the same network as the devices PRTG monitors, so all data stays inside the customer’s network boundary.
Docker image
Pull the public CMDB-360 PRTG Satellite image from Docker Hub and run it on any host that already has Docker installed.
Universal Installer
Install on any Oracle Linux 8/9 or Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 host (ARM or x86_64) with the graphical Installer or the non-interactive AutoInstaller for scripted setups.
We recommend deploying the Satellite within the same IP space as the devices PRTG monitors so sensitive data stays inside the customer’s network boundary — though it can run anywhere that can reach the PRTG server and has outbound access to the Base Station. Minimum footprint: 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 10 GB disk, and no inbound ports are required.
A simple two-step setup
When you deploy with the Installer or AutoInstaller, configuration is handled for you. Otherwise the on-instance ConfigTool walks you through two steps.
1 · Connect to the Base Station
Using the AdminTool, point the Satellite at your MSP’s CMDB-360 Base Station with its URL and the unique access token issued for the Satellite. These are held in an encrypted config.yml, then services are restarted.
2 · Connect to PRTG
Run the ConfigTool and enter your PRTG host URL (including the port if needed) and a read-only PRTG API token. Save, and the Satellite begins discovery and reports rosters to the Base Station.
The Satellite needs only read-only access to PRTG, and its credentials are written to an encrypted config file. Use HTTPS for the PRTG endpoint whenever the connection crosses an untrusted network.
How the PRTG Satellite protects data
The PRTG Satellite runs inside the customer’s network and sends only non-sensitive rosters of discovered devices and sensors to the CMDB-360 Base Station. Detailed information is streamed on demand and only while a user is viewing a record — nothing proprietary is stored outside the environment.
