Two years and 14 days ago, on June 30th 2008, we released the last new major version: version 7 of PRTG Network Monitor. Since then PRTG has seen numerous improvements, new features and enhancements. Now, the next major version is getting close to completion. With version 8 PRTG takes another big leap forward with hundreds of improvements and many new features.

Clustering and More

With this new version we introduce a unique new feature that allows PRTG users to create fail-safe, distributed monitoring systems: The "PRTG Cluster" where up to 5 PRTG instances ("nodes") work together to create a fail-safe monitoring system.

 

We have implemented numerous new features:

  • Multi-server installations of PRTG with automatic fail-over ("PRTG Cluster")
  • Redesigned web interface (including support for Google Maps)
  • A dedicated low-bandwidth web interface for mobile access
  • Enhanced maps
  • Enhanced notifications
  • New API features
  • Several new sensor types, including various native Linux sensors
  • And many more...
