On the one hand, you can use this form to ask for support regarding technical issues. To make the support contact more comfortable, PRTG can automatically attach a screenshot in combination with a Support Bundle that contains several selected PRTG log files and status files. This information really helps the Paessler support team to analyze any issue you might have with PRTG. Also consider the suggested links to articles regarding the scope of your issue.

On the other hand, you can use this form to give us feedback. Help improve PRTG by providing criticism, praise, bug reports, and feature requests. Any comments are welcome. Your feedback is handled directly by the Paessler support team.

PRTG securely transmits your feedback or support question including the support bundle to Paessler via the PRTG Cloud. Read more in our Knowledge Base on how we handle your feedback.

Helpdesk

Write us in English or German and communicate via the Helpdesk.The Paessler support team works closely with our development department to guarantee the fastest and most constructive assistance possible. As they need to analyze a lot of data over the course of a support case, like log files and screenshots, they use the Helpdesk as their primary support mechanism. Their office is staffed Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 22:00 (UTC+1), so you receive an answer within 24 hours on business days. Depending on the complexity of the case, they might need to ask for remote access to your system, or to schedule a remote desktop session.
