System Requirements for PRTG Network Monitor

In order to install and work with PRTG Network Monitor you need:

• A PC, server or virtual machine with roughly the performance of an average PC built in the year 2007 or better
• Any version of Microsoft® Windows (XP or later, server or workstation, 32 or 64 bit)
• Web browser Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 8 (or higher) to access the web interface

More information as well as detailed requirements for monitoring with SNMP, NetFlow, and Packet Sniffing can be found in our PRTG 7 Detailed System Requirements.

Planning an installation with hundreds of sensors or more?

As a rule of thumb an average PC/server built in the year 2007 or later should be able to monitor 1,000 sensors with ease (some exceptions for SNMP V3, WMI and packet sniffing apply). For larger installations please refer to our knowledgebase article Planning Large Installations of PRTG Network Monitor 7.
