<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: Data Storage

PRTG stores the monitoring configuration, monitoring data, logs, tickets, and reports, as well as support and debug data into different folders on the core server or the system running a Remote Probe. Additionally, there is data from PRTG in the program directory (for example, scripts for your custom sensors) and in the Windows registry.

You can find data in different locations. For a detailed information please see the article linked in the More section below.

You cannot access these directories on the PRTG on demand core server system.

PRTG Program Directory

32-bit systems:

%programfiles%\PRTG Network Monitor

64-bit systems:

%programfiles(x86)%\PRTG Network Monitor

These are the default paths. If you specified another installation directory, you will find your data there.

PRTG Data Folder

On Windows Vista (not officially supported), Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 8, and Windows 2012:

%programdata%\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor

On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (both are not officially supported):

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application data\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor

These are the default paths, depending on your Windows version. If you specified a custom path for data storage, please look it up in the PRTG Administration Tool: Open this application and switch to the Core Server tab. You will find the path there.
