Linux usage monitoring with PRTG Push sensor

Monitoring Linux usage (CPU, Memory, Disk Usage, Uptime) with HTTP Push Data Advanced PRTG Sensor.

It's cheaper on the sensor cost.

Create a HTTP Push Data Advanced sensor in your PRTG and grab the Identification Token.

Download the script:

mkdir -p /var/prtg/scriptsxml/
cd /var/prtg/scriptsxml/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stylersnico/prtg-linux-usage-push-monitoring/refs/heads/main/debian-usage.sh

Run it for testing after edditing the PRTG server IP and the Token:

chmod +x  /var/prtg/scriptsxml/debian-usage.sh
bash /var/prtg/scriptsxml/debian-usage.sh

Add it to your crontab:
