What is Linux hardware monitoring?
Linux hardware refers to PCs, laptops, or notebooks installed with Linux, as well as systems and servers that run the open-source operating system Linux.
Why is Linux hardware monitoring important?
Linux processes and applications will run slowly unless CPU loads are optimized and there is enough space on the hard disk.
The functionality of hardware must be monitored continuously to ensure underperforming components are replaced before malfunctions occur.
Hardware temperatures must be monitored to avoid overheating, which can cause processes to slow down or damage components.
If resource utilization levels are too high or low, the network can be optimized accordingly.
Preconfigured PRTG sensors for optimal Linux server monitoring with just a few clicks
PRTG comes with more than 15 preconfigured sensors for Linux-based networks. These sensors comprehensively monitor every aspect of Linux servers and other Linux hardware.
- Native PRTG SSH SAN sensors monitor logical and physical disks, as well as enclosures in a storage area network (SAN). Monitor the status of disks, power supplies, and controllers, the number of I/O operations per second, and the amount of data transferred per second.
- Check the memory usage of Linux/Unix systems via SSH or SNMP, in bytes or as a percentage, for each mounted partition.
- Keep a constant eye on the average load of a Linux system via SSH or SNMP.
- Monitor the connection between a Linux system and another system remotely, using ICMP echo requests (ping) and SSH.
- Keep track of index nodes on hard disks.

Which PRTG sensor monitors the temperature of Linux systems?
Temperature monitoring is extremely important, especially for servers: When systems are overloaded, their operating temperatures rise quickly. This can lead to a drop in the reliability of servers. Not to mention service interruptions and failures. In the worst case scenario, data can be lost or hardware damaged.
The SSH SAN System Health Sensor is ideal here: it will keep a constant eye on the system status of a storage area network. Among other things, this sensor provides you with information on the:
- Voltage of the capacitor in volts (V)
- Voltage of the capacitor pack
- Temperature of the hard disk controller
- Temperature of the storage controller
- Onboard temperature
