PRTG monitors every aspect of your IT infrastructure

Flexible Alerting

PRTG comes with 10 built-in technologies such as email, push, play alarm audio files, or triggering HTTP requests. PRTG on-premise also supports SMS text messages and executing EXE files.

Our free push notifications help you stay up to date when using your mobile device(s).

Adapt the notification system to suit your needs and schedule alerts (such as ‘no low priority alerts at night’), or avoid alarm floods by using dependencies and acknowledging. You could even use our PRTG API to write your own notifications.

Multiple User Interfaces

  • Full-featured web interface: based on AJAX with high-security standards, highly performant thanks to Single Page Application (SPA) technology, and optimally adjusting to your systems by its responsive design
  • PRTG Desktop app: native application for PRTG, especially for several PRTG installations
  • App for iOS and Android
  • All user interfaces allow SSL-secured local and remote access and can be used simultaneously.

In-Depth Reporting

  • Get the numbers, statistics, and graphs of your specific monitoring data or configuration.
  • Export your historic monitoring data as PDF, HTML, XML, or CSV files and further process your monitoring data.
  • Run reports on demand or schedule regular reports (daily, weekly, monthly).

Maps and Dashboards

Visualize your network using real-time maps with live status information.

Create dashboards with the PRTG map designer and integrate all your network components with more than 300 different map objects – from device and status icons to traffic charts and top lists. Individualize your map using custom HTML.

Share your map providing its unique URL on a dashboard within your company LAN only, or even outside your company.

Distributed Monitoring

  • Monitor several networks in different locations and separate networks within your company (for example, DMZ and LAN) with PRTG Remote Probes.
  • Use remote probes to monitor your LAN with the hosted version of PRTG.
  • Get the overview in one central PRTG core installation.
  • You can also use remote probes to distribute monitoring load.
  • Each PRTG license includes unlimited remote probes.
  • As MSP you can monitor your customer’s networks and increase the quality of service.

Cluster Failover Solution

It is always better to be safe than sorry. PRTG Network Monitor allows failover tolerant monitoring. One single failover is included in every PRTG on-premise license!

Automatic failover handling: if the primary master of the cluster is not connected or is down, another node immediately takes over all its responsibilities, including the sending of notifications.

Take advantage of multiple points of presence monitoring: all nodes monitor all sensors all the time, so you can compare response times from different locations in the network (LAN/WAN/VPN).

The hosted version of PRTG also comes with high-availability monitoring. We take care of it for you so there is no cluster support in the cloud.

What is a “Sensor” in PRTG?

In PRTG sensors are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, such as the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server and the free space of a disk drive. On average you will need about 5 – 10 sensors per server or one sensor per switch port.

All licenses of PRTG only differ by the maximum number of sensors that you can monitor. PRTG offers more than 200 sensor types, each one counts as one “sensor”. In PRTG you create “devices” which represent the actual devices in your network, and on those devices, you create “sensors”.

About Devices and Sensors:

  • For example, create a device for your Firewall, another for your Exchange server, and a third one that represents your Printer.
  • On each device, you create one or more “sensors“.
  • Each sensor monitors one single aspect of a device. This can be, for example, Ping time, the CPU load on a server, the traffic of a network interface, or the status of toner cartridges.

Examples of Sensors

When monitoring a firewall, an Exchange server, and a printer you may use the following sensors.

  • Disk Free

  • SMTP

  • IMAP

  • POP3

  • RDP

  • MSEchange Mailbox Send Queue Size

  • MSEchange Mailbox Receive Queue Size

PRTG can scan network segments by pinging defined IP ranges. This way PRTG will automatically recognize a wide range of devices and systems and create sensors from predefined device templates. This saves you a lot of configuration work and you can start monitoring right away.

Maps

With PRTG Maps you can create web pages with up-to-date monitoring data in your desired design. You can even make maps with your monitoring data publicly available. Have an eye on your network as you need it!

Alerts

PRTG alerts you when it discovers warnings or unusual metrics. With our free Apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone you can get push notifications directly to your phone. You can easily set up notifications via email or SMS according to your needs. With our powerful API, you can even write your own notification scripts.
