The set up to use this container is a three-part process:
1. [Install and configure a NATS server](#install-and-configure-a-nats-server)
1. [Configure the NATS server](#configure-the-nats-server)
2. [Configure PRTG](#configure-prtg)
3. [Install and use the container](#container-usage)
ℹ️ If you already have a NATS server configured in PRTG, skip to [step 3](#container-usage).
### Install and configure a NATS server
### Configure the NATS server
Paessler GmbH provides the **NATS Server for Paessler PRTG** Windows installer that does the following:
* Installs the NATS server executable.
* Configures the NATS server.
* Installs and starts the NATS server service in the background.
For the installer and step-by-step instructions on how to set up a NATS server on Windows, see section **Step 1: Install a NATS server** in the [Multi-Platform Probe for PRTG][manual] manual.
Paessler PRTG ships with a NATS server. For the step-by-step instructions on how configure the NATS server for the Multi-Platform Probe, see section **2.1: Configure NATS server connection** in the [Multi-Platform Probe for PRTG][manual] manual.
ℹ️ If you want to deploy your NATS server on a non-Windows system, see the NATS documentation on their website.
### Configure PRTG
Once you set up your NATS server, you must configure PRTG to accept connections to the NATS server.
This is done from the PRTG web interface via **Setup** | **Cores & Probes** | **[Multi-Platform Probe Connection Settings][prtg-manual:cores]**.
For step-by-step instructions on how to configure PRTG, see section **Step 2: Configure connection in PRTG** in the [Multi-Platform Probe for PRTG][manual] manual.

For step-by-step instructions on how to configure PRTG, see section **2.3: Configure PRTG connection** in the [Multi-Platform Probe for PRTG][manual] manual.
