How Does the Performance Test Software Work

PRTG's functionality includes availability and bandwidth monitoring, making sure that all your network devices are up and running and tracking network activity. You can configure alarms to warn you when bandwidth usage surpasses a certain threshold in order to prevent network bottlenecks, which would affect your network's performance. The network diagnostic tools by Paessler also work as a free syslog server and SNMP trap receiver: log messages sent by network devices are collected and analyzed in one central server. When needed, an alarm is triggered, enabling you to react proactively to any possible issues. And should a problem in your network occur, PRTG will help you with all your Windows network troubleshooting needs, making it much easier to identify network faults.

Paessler's performance test software includes comprehensive server monitoring functionality with special sensors for monitoring SQL servers, web servers, file servers, etc, allowing you to closely monitor the load on your servers as well as the impact of the server load on the entire network.

The PRTG performance test software also supports the NetFlow protocol, which makes PRTG network monitor an effective Cisco performance monitor.

PRTG is available in two editions. For basic, free Ethernet performance tests, the Freeware Edition may be downloaded and used for personal and commercial use completely free of charge. Need more sensors to monitor a larger IT infrastructure? See our commercial licenses here.
