Server Uptime
Ensuring maximum server uptime is critical for all businesses. File and databases servers, email and web servers are an indispensable part of most business processes, and downtimes have direct negative effects on productivity, sales, employee and customer satisfaction.
Server Uptime Monitoring Using PRTG
Using PRTG Network Monitor, you can constantly monitor server uptime. PRTG will send PING requests to your servers at the chosen frequency. Should one of your servers not be available, you will immediately be notified via email, text messages, ICQ, pager, etc. This allows you to troubleshoot the problem at once, and maximize server uptime.
Web Site Monitoring
PRTG's remote probes functionality allows you to check your web servers' uptime from multiple locations using just one PRTG installation. Just place the remote probes in various branch offices or other networks that you have access to, and send the PING requests from those locations.
PRTG - Monitoring Server Uptime and More
In addition to enabling you to monitor server uptime, the PRTG server monitoring software can also be used to monitor vital server parameters such as CPU load, free disk space, or memory usage, as well as for a network performance test: the net monitoring tools measure packet loss, packet delay variation, and network speed.
Moreover, PRTG is a sophisticated bandwidth monitoring tool. Using SNMP monitoring, packet sniffing, and NetFlow, it enables you to check bandwidth usage broken down by IP address, port, or protocol. It works with a variety of different switches and routers, and can therefore be used among others as a Cisco, Linksys, Nortel, and Foundry monitor. PRTG is a Windows based tool, however, it can also be used to monitor Linux and Unix servers.
PRTG Network Monitor
PRTG is available in two editions. A basic, free server monitor may be downloaded and used for personal and commercial use completely free of charge. For more advanced needs, licenses for the Commercial Editions start at $400 / €300.
