When devices are distributed across multiple probes, PRTG automatically organizes them in the Devices tab under their respective probe and group hierarchy. There is currently no way to display all devices of a given type (e.g. all Windows servers) in a single, flat, alphabetically sorted list that spans all probes.
The Libraries function does not solve this either: each library node only accepts one linked object, and creating multiple nodes simply recreates the same separated structure. Maps are a visual workaround but not a true list/table view with sorting, filtering and sensor status columns.
Proposed solution:
Add a cross-probe "flat view" option to the Devices tab (or extend Libraries to accept multiple linked devices in a single node), allowing users to:
list all devices across every probe in one combined view
sort alphabetically by device name
filter by tag, device type or status
keep full access to sensor data and context actions
Use case / benefit:
Faster troubleshooting in environments with many probes
Consistent overview comparable to single-probe setups
No need to maintain Maps purely for inventory purposes
Better scalability as installations grow and more remote probes are added
