Server Monitoring Software

PRTG Network Monitor is Paessler's powerful Windows server monitoring software. With more than 50 sensor types, PRTG enables you to continuously monitor web servers, email servers, database servers, and file servers.

How Does Server Monitoring Work?

The server monitoring tool uses SNMP and WMI to check the availability of your servers, and monitors factors such as disk usage, CPU load, IP latency, or even the temperature in your server room. The server monitoring software can also be used as a syslog server and SNMP Trap receiver: PRTG stores the log messages sent by managed devices in one central place and analyzes them, triggering alarms if necessary.

Alarms can also be configured to inform you when a server or disk drive is down (this is checked by PRTG's PING tool), when CPU or memory usage reach critical values, or when your servers are running low on available hard disk space. This enables you to react proactively, to allocate system resources correctly, and to avoid downtimes. Besides giving you an overview of your network and enable you to regularly check your servers and network connections, PRTG makes Windows network troubleshooting and Windows 2003 monitoring much easier.

PRTG - More than Server Monitoring Software

But PRTG is more than an SNMP monitor: packet sniffing and NetFlow / sFlow support also convert the server monitoring software into an advanced bandwidth and network activity monitor. The NetFlow analyzer capability is useful if you are using routers and switches by Cisco: these network devices provide detailed pre-aggregated traffic data which PRTG can read and display using NetFlow.
