With the latest beta version of PRTG Network Monitor 7.0.8 we have re-implemented the so-called “TEXTLIST” interface which makes access to the current monitoring status of all your sensors easy.
We receive questions like this every few days. User of our monitoring products want to know if their ISP or hosting service is actually providing them with the available bandwidth that they are paying for. But measuring the actually available bandwidth is almost impossible.
Let me explain this:
Starting with Version 7.0.8 PRTG Network Monitor (currently in public beta testing) includes a web-based API that enables external programs to have access information from the monitoring database and to manipulate the object database of PRTG. The API is HTTP based and uses a set of URLs to access the data.
With version 7.0.8 (currently in beta) we have added a new user interface that is optimized for the Apple iPhone. This feature enables the user to quickly check the status of his servers and sensors on the road.
