Network and Server Monitoring

Network and server monitoring are important instruments to assure the performance and availability of your servers and your entire network. An efficient memory monitor tool also helps you to optimize hardware and bandwidth according to your real needs by delivering an analysis of long term monitoring data. PRTG Network Monitor is a comprehensive monitoring solution that checks bandwidth and monitors network usage, performance and availability.

Improve and Monitor the Performance of Your Network and Servers

The network and server monitoring tool monitors bandwidth utilization via SNMP, packet sniffing and NetFlow, checks the availability of network components, and checks parameters such as CPU load, memory load, free disk space, etc. It can also be used for server room monitoring as PRTG can even check of the temperature or humidity in your server room and trigger an alert if a certain threshold is being passed.

In order to make server performance monitoring easier, PRTG comes with a range of built in server monitoring sensors:
