Monitoring with PRTG Network Monitor

With the integration of more and more devices and processes into the digital infrastructure of companies, the complexity and the associated effort for their operation increases significantly. In connection with the shortage of skilled workers in the ICT sector, the maintenance and monitoring of this infrastructure is an increasing challenge for companies. Increasingly small IT teams must be familiar with a variety of different vendor-specific management and control tools. However, this multitude of tools often enough makes it difficult or even impossible to assess the overall condition. Proactive monitoring is just as difficult as reacting quickly to current failures and emerging bottlenecks. In order to remedy this, a solution is required that aggregates and displays data independent of the manufacturer and reacts with defined actions. This must meet at least three main criteria: compatibility, reliability and automation.

PRTG from Paessler is a monitoring tool that can be easily integrated into existing digital infrastructures. From monitoring hardware data to quality-of-service metrics in cloud applications, everything can be implemented. As a manufacturer-independent tool with around 300 preconfigured sensors for all common hardware and software manufacturers as well as extensive, tailor-made API capabilities, it can be set up conveniently and adapted to individual needs. The recorded data can be displayed in customized dashboards with an integrated alarm system. When a threshold is reached or an alarm is triggered, not only can you be notified individually, but you can also respond automatically via script or API call.

PRTG is a complete product with no modules or add-ons. Regardless of the size of the installation, you always have access to all features. Scaling is based purely on the number of licensed sensors and can be dynamically adjusted at any time. In contrast to many other solutions, there are no hidden costs. New systems can be inserted into existing dashboards using drag & drop. In this way, individually configured displays and alarm systems can be adjusted easily and quickly at any time.

PRTG's architecture also allows monitoring of large and distributed infrastructures with many locations. The connection to existing ERP or ticket systems as well as comprehensive reporting provide information about the status of the existing systems, even over a longer period of time. This makes PRTG the ideal solution for companies of all sizes to relieve their own resources and get a holistic overview of their own digital infrastructure.
