Threshold Monitoring
Advanced Network Monitoring with Flexible Alerting Options
PRTG Network Monitor is Paessler's powerful network and server monitoring software. It measures network traffic, tracks the availability of network devices, monitors file changes, Windows memory usage, and other important system parameters.
A flexible network monitoring alerting system with customizable threshold monitoring options helps you to get on top of your network and troubleshoot network issues proactively.
Benefits of Threshold Monitoring
Rather than merely notifying you of a downtime or a problem, the PRTG networking tools also support threshold monitoring:
This option allows you to configure notifications to be triggered when a certain threshold is being crossed, e.g.
- if a server's CPU load exceeds 80%,
- if a computer or your whole network uses more bandwidth than usual, or
- if the remaining file size on a disk drive is less than 15% or 100 MB.
You can also decide whether you want to be notified if the threshold is being crossed just once, or whether you only want an alarm to be triggered if this state persists for a certain time. This helps you to ensure an effective network monitoring system, which will not bombard you with unnecessary notifications.
PRTG Network Monitor
PRTG is an agentless monitoring solution. It uses WMI monitoring to monitor Windows services and system parameters, and SNMP to monitor network devices. Packet sniffing and NetFlow are used to acquire detailed bandwidth usage data. The network monitoring software needs to run on a Windows computer. However, in addition to Windows monitoring, it can also monitor Unix computers.
