RAM Monitoring
Why RAM Usage Monitoring is Important
RAM monitoring is an important part of server and network monitoring. Continuous memory monitoring helps you to prevent network issues such as server overloads before they result in major problems. A long term RAM usage analysis can also help you to decide whether you should upgrade your hardware.
How Does RAM Monitoring Work?
PRTG Network Monitor is a comprehensive network monitoring solution which enables you to monitor hardware, bandwidth, and network performance. The software supports agentless monitoring: it gathers the data from network devices using a variety of protocols, such as SNMP, WMI, NetFlow or sFlow. For CPU monitoring and RAM monitoring on Windows machines, PRTG uses both SNMP and WMI. Using SNMP and SSH, you can also monitor the memory and CPU load of Linux computers.
Apart from RAM usage and the CPU load, PRTG can also monitor processor temperature if the motherboard supplies this information.
PRTG - More Than a RAM Usage Monitor
Of course, PRTG's ample functionality includes much more than RAM monitoring and a free CPU temp monitor: using packet sniffing or NetFlow, PRTG gives you detailed bandwidth usage data. It shows you, for example, which IP address is responsible for most bandwidth usage, and classifies network traffic by type. Moreover, it tracks the availability of network devices, checks network speed, and measures parameters such as latency and jitter. A total of more than 130 sensor types allow you to monitor virtually anything in your network. And if this is not enough, you can set up your own custom sensors. As PRTG will notify you immediately if a problem occurs, or a defined threshold is being crossed, the network monitoring software helps you to quickly troubleshoot your network and keep downtimes to a minimum.
