Website Monitoring Software

Website Monitoring is vital for business success: companies and organizations need to maintain a high-performing, dependable website to share information as well as promote and sell goods. For this reason, network administrators must know the status of their websites to assure website availability. PRTG Network Monitor software provides continuous website monitoring and automated alerts should the web server be down or slow to respond. This way, Paessler's powerful website monitoring software helps both to avoid losses caused by undetected website failures and to enhance customer satisfaction by assuring 100% uptime and fast and reliable access to the website.

PRTG installs easily and its usage is intuitive. Additional features like remote management (via web browser or PocketPC) and error notifications by email, ICQ, pager/SMS make website monitoring easy.

Setting up and Configuring Your Website Monitoring Software

You can easily setup website availability monitoring using HTTP sensors to get the current status (up or down) of your website: simply create a new sensor and enter the URL of the website to be monitored.

Using PRTG Network Monitor's HTTP Transaction Sensors, you can monitor a sequence of URLs on a web server. This is useful for verifying that your web is functioning fully, e.g. putting products into a shopping cart and then making sure that the checkout is working properly.

Another important sensor type is the HTTP Content Sensor. The most common use is to monitor some value inside a web server for validity. For example, if you have a script or CGI running on the web server that simply publishes the free disk space or the current processor usage, you can actually monitor these values as well as many others.
