Our Support Techs suggest the first step in comprehensive monitoring is to make a plan. This includes, for example, unexpected events, Syslogs and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, detailed data flow (bandwidth monitoring), and event log messages. PRTG passively receives data that is pushed to PRTG by a device or application. PRTG can consume and collect sensor data based on interfaces with, for example, HTTP or HTTPS requests, port checks, email checks, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) downloads, and database requests. PRTG uses the following ways to receive monitoring data from target devices:

PRTG hosted by Paessler does not require any hardware for the PRTG core server, but at least one remote probe installation is necessary to monitor the local network. They collect data and send it over to the core server via a secure connection. We can install it if we have a PC or server with at least a dual-core CPU and 2048 MB RAM.įor remote sites and to distribute the load, we can use remote probes. Our Support Techs always recommend that we install PRTG on premises on a physical machine. In this article, let us see how our Support Techs prepare IT infrastructure for monitoring with PRTG. It is the PRTG cloud solution, where the PRTG core server and host probe run at Paessler’s end. With PRTG on premises, the PRTG core server and local probe run within our network.

To monitor the network, PRTG offers two options: This data is stored in an internal database for later analysis. Hand in hand with various network parameters, PRTG monitors network availability and bandwidth usage. Today, let us see how to use monitoring with PRTG. We can use them to optimize the layout, efficiency, and setup of leased lines, routers, firewalls servers, and other network components.Īs part of our Server Management Services, we assist our customers with several Windows queries. It provides us with live readings and periodical usage trends. Wondering how to use monitoring with PRTG? We can help you.Īlmost any object with an IP address is possible to monitor using PRTG.
