The Paessler PRTG Monitoring System database file is a proprietary data storage format developed by Paessler AG for its network monitoring suite. It serves as a repository for historical monitoring metrics, sensor logs, and system configuration settings necessary for enterprise infrastructure oversight. Since these files are based on the standard SQLite 3 architecture, they are inherently safe, though they should be protected to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive network topology data.
