In PRTG Network Monitor, a "Toplist" report allows you to identify "top" users or connections by analyzing network traffic via protocols like NetFlow or packet sniffing. If "Digiboy" refers to a specific group or device in your infrastructure, you can generate a tailored performance report by following these steps: 0;16;

Report Name: Enter a descriptive name like "Digiboy Top Traffic Report".
Template: Select a template such as 0;955;"Top 100 List" or "Graph and Data Table" to see a breakdown of the highest consumers. 18;write_to_target_document7;default0;854;18;write_to_target_document1a;_0rfsabqLKuCIkPIPx8e24QQ_20;2a; 2. Select Data Sources (Digiboy Sensors) 0;16;
You must specify which sensors will provide the "Top" data for the report: 0;16;
Manual Selection: After saving basic settings, go to the Select Sensors Manually tab and drag the relevant devices or sensors (e.g., NetFlow sensors monitoring Digiboy hardware) into the report.
By Tag0;8ec;: Alternatively, enter specific tags in the Sensors by Tag field if your Digiboy-related sensors are already tagged in PRTG. 18;write_to_target_document7;default0;854;18;write_to_target_document1a;_0rfsabqLKuCIkPIPx8e24QQ_20;2a; 3. Configure Toplist Settings 0;16; A custom sensor name used in your organization
Since Toplists are generated at the sensor level, ensure the underlying sensors are configured to track the specific metrics you need: 0;16;
PRTG automatically stores the top 100 entries of each Toplist period to save database space.
You can view these lists (e.g., Top Connections, Top Protocols) directly on the Toplists0;820; tab of the specific traffic sensor. 18;write_to_target_document7;default0;854;18;write_to_target_document1a;_0rfsabqLKuCIkPIPx8e24QQ_20;2a; 4. Schedule and Run 0;16;

PRTG Network Monitor stands as a cornerstone in the world of IT infrastructure management, particularly for those seeking a balance between powerful enterprise-grade features and user-friendly accessibility. While "Digiboy Top" appears to refer to specific localized implementations or high-level performance case studies, the core value of the tool lies in its ability to provide a "single pane of glass" view into your entire network's health. What is PRTG Network Monitor? Based on the most likely need, I’ve drafted
Developed by Paessler AG, PRTG (Paessler Router Traffic Grapher) is a comprehensive, agentless network monitoring solution. It is designed to oversee systems, devices, traffic, and applications across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
However, "Digiboy Top" isn't a standard PRTG term, sensor, or known add-on. It could be:
- A custom sensor name used in your organization
- A typo or autocorrect error (e.g., "Digiboy" → "Digiboard," "DigiBox," or "Device Top")
- A specific monitoring dashboard view or MIB for a device
Based on the most likely need, I’ve drafted a general PRTG setup and monitoring guide and included how to handle unusual device names or custom sensors labeled "Digiboy Top."
Technical Requirements (for a DIY DigiBoy Top)
- Raspberry Pi Zero W or ESP32 with display
- Python with
requestslibrary - PRTG API key (read-only recommended)
- PRTG Core Server accessible over network
If "Digiboy Top" already exists in PRTG:
- Log into PRTG (http://your-prtg-server:8080)
- Use the search bar (top right) → type
Digiboy Top - Click on the result to view its sensors and data
2. What is PRTG Network Monitor?
For context, PRTG Network Monitor (by Paessler) is a powerful network monitoring tool used by administrators to monitor bandwidth, uptime, and device health.
- The "Top" Aspect: In the context of the software itself, "Top" often refers to "Toplists". PRTG has a feature called Toplists that shows the highest traffic volumes or top talkers in a network.
- Why people look for "Digiboy" versions: PRTG is a commercial product with a free version limited to 100 sensors. Many IT students and junior admins search for shared keys or alternative versions in local forums to bypass these limits for lab practice.
Step 3: The "Digiboy" Touch – Deep-Dive Custom Sensors
To truly dig deep, you must go beyond default sensors. The top 1% of PRTG admins write custom EXE/XML sensors.
Example: A custom PowerShell sensor that checks for "stuck" Windows Print Queue jobs every 2 minutes.
# This is the "Digiboy" spirit - catch what others miss.
$StuckJobs = Get-PrintJob -ComputerName "PrintSvr01" | Where-Object $_.JobStatus -eq "Error"
if ($StuckJobs.Count -gt 0)
Write-Host "<prtg>"
Write-Host "<error>1</error>"
Write-Host "<text>$($StuckJobs.Count) stuck print jobs</text>"
Write-Host "</prtg>"
else
Write-Host "<prtg><result><channel>Stuck Jobs</channel><value>0</value></result></prtg>"
Integrating the Digiboy Top philosophy means every custom script is logged, version-controlled, and documented.
