Target Environment Requirements

Script Execution Machine Requirements

• The operations within this package require the PrtgAPI PowerShell module to be installed on the target machine. Details of this can be found in the PowerShell Gallery.
• If the script execution policy on the machine executing these operations is set to Restricted, then this will need to be updated to something less restrictive. See the PowerShell Documentation for more information.

KeySafe Configuration

When creating SIS jobs for operations contained within this package, they need to be run on the target machine as a user who has the correct privileges within your environment, and will require an additional KeySafe Key to hold the account credentials to connect to PRTG.

To configure your Target Machine account authentication in KeySafe:

• In the Admin console, navigate to: System > Security > KeySafe;
• Click on + then select Username + Password;
• Give the KeySafe Key a Title (this is the name/identifier for the target machine account as you will see it when creating an IT Automation Job, or adding an IT Automation node to a Business Process or Runbook);
• Optionally add a description;
• Populate the Username field with the domain/local account username for the account being used on the target machine;
• Populate the Password field with the password for the above account;
• Select Create Key to save.

To configure your Username + Password account authentication for PRTG in KeySafe:

• In the Admin console, navigate to: System > Security > KeySafe;
• In the Type field, select Username + Password
• Give the API Key a title (this is the name/identifier for the PRTG account as you will see it when using the Integration Call node in your business process);
• Optionally add a description;
• Username - this should be populated with the username for the PRTG account being used to perform the selected operations;
• Password - this should be populated with the password for the above account;
• API Endpoint - this should be populated with the address of your PRTG server. For example: https://yourprtgserveraddress ;
• Click Create Key to save
