Windows Network Monitoring by WMI
With WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) Windows offers enhanced options for managing Windows based systems. Delivering tons of information on windows systems, WMI enables advanced options for monitoring solutions which are able to analyze this information. PRTG Network Monitor comes with thousands of preconfigured WMI sensors, which make PRTG the perfect solution for monitoring medium and large networks. But also small and even private networks can benefit from the Windows network monitoring features of PRTG, as our network monitor tools come with the entire feature set in the freeware edition as well.
Using WMI for Windows network monitoring requires a well working WMI installation/configuration. Often malfunctioning WMI installations prevent monitoring tools from smooth windows network monitoring. In our support area we offer a short guide to troubleshooting WMI problems. Also our freeware network tool WMI Tester supports users setting up a comprehensive monitoring scenario using PRTG Network Monitor.
Windows Network Monitoring Of Distributed Sites
Another feature of PRTG are the so-called remote probes. Remote probes provide multi-location monitoring functionality. The probes are installed to networks at different sites and operate comprehensive monitoring for these sites. They deliver the data to the core installation that analyzes it and shows the results in individually configured graphs. Thus, one license allows you to monitor networks at several locations spread throughout the world.
