Top 5 Troubleshooting Tips for Your WMI Problems
PRTG Administrators Know WMI Can be Tricky
Using PRTG Network Monitor, a system administrator can make extensive use of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) protocol for Windows monitoring. Unfortunately, WMI can be tricky. In most cases security and user account related problems can cause trouble. Sometimes even more complex issues occur.
We are often asked for configuration help so we have compiled five steps for troubleshooting WMI. These include providing Windows user credentials, checking your own and your target's firewall settings and the WMI port, and double-checking if any security software is interfering.
Results of the "Real World" Performance Comparison
How does Your Content Delivery Network (CDN) Provider rank?
Since February, visitors of our website cloudclimate.com have had the possibility to measure "website asset delivery speed" of 24 CDN and cloud providers using their own internet connection. In our April edition of Paessler News, we published the first results of this comparison test. Now we have gathered the performance results of 340,000 requests, so it is time to dive into the data and draw some conclusions.
We found that CacheFly CDN showed the most solid performance in all four categories (first and average request time; globally and USA only). But SoftLayer/Internap and GoGrid/Edgecast are close behind CacheFly. An honorable mention goes to the cloud server running in the Terremark cloud which showed up in the upper half of our lists between the dedicated CDN providers (#10, #7, #7, #5).
