PRTG makes monitoring memory easy

Custom alerts and data visualizations make it easy to monitor, identify, and prevent low RAM and allocate more resources before it’s too late.

 

 

Every network component needs RAM

But when servers, applications, or other network devices use too much of it… Well, that's where the problems start. Poor server performance. Applications that take ages to load. Frozen screens. You get the idea.

The good news is that optimizing memory is usually relatively straightforward. But only if you can pinpoint the cause of the problem. Which is where Paessler PRTG comes in.

With a highly configurable user interface, round-the-clock monitoring, and automatic, customizable alerts, PRTG keeps a close watch on RAM usage across your network. That way, when memory is running low, you'll know exactly what you need to do to free up more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't forget your memory: 3 reasons why to choose PRTG as your memory monitoring tool

Set it and forget it

Pick your warning and error thresholds and let PRTG do the work. Sophisticated sensors monitor your network 24/7 and alert you when memory-hungry components or other issues risk draining your RAM, so you can step in before your network slows to a standstill.

Proactively fix issues

Addressing drains, bottlenecks, and other causes of low RAM is good. But preventing them is much, much better. PRTG lets you know even before issues happen and notifies you via email, SMS, push notification, and more. Which means you'll never get caught on the back foot again.

More than RAM monitoring

PRTG can keep an eye on your whole IT infrastructure: applications, bandwidth, databases, websites, servers… the list goes on. Our highly customizable, all-in-one network monitoring tool gives you the peace of mind that nothing will fall through the cracks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What memory monitoring looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously monitoring the available, used, and total memory of different network components. Show RAM usage, virtual memory, as well as CPU usage and other key metrics in real time and visualize data in graphic maps & dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the visibility you need to troubleshoot bottlenecks, underperformance, and other memory-related issues. 

 

Start monitoring RAM with PRTG and see how it can make your network more reliable and your job easier.

6 PRTG sensors for monitoring & analyzing memory

With its preconfigured sensors that come with PRTG out-of-the-box, our memory monitoring software helps you maintain optimal RAM. All sensors keep an eagle eye on the parameters that could impact memory availability across your network.

SNMP Memory

The SNMP Memory sensor lets you view any system's available memory (in bytes and percent) and total memory, using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

WMI Memory

The WMI Memory sensor tracks free memory (in bytes and percent) on Windows systems, using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

SSH Meminfo

The SSH Meminfo sensor monitors available memory (in bytes and percent) on Linux and other Unix-based systems, using Secure Shell (SSH).

SNMP HPE ProLiant Memory Controller

The SNMP HPE ProLiant Memory Controller sensor monitors the status and condition of a memory controller and available modules in an HPE server, using SNMP.

SNMP IBM System X Physical Memory

The SNMP IBM System X Physical Disk sensor monitors the condition and power status of IBM server memory modules, using SNMP.

SNMP Linux Meminfo

 

The SNMP Linux Meminfo sensor tracks memory use on Linux and Unix systems, using SNMP. It shows available memory, free physical and swap memory, and free total memory (all in bytes and percent).

 

Need to monitor other components or parameters?

With more than 250 preconfigured sensors to choose from, we can all but guarantee you'll find one that can do it. But, if you don't, you can easily create and configure your own custom sensors.

Monitor memory: FAQ

 

What is RAM?

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It's a type of computer memory that allows data to be stored and retrieved quickly by the computer's processor. RAM is considered volatile memory, meaning that it loses its contents when the power is turned off.

The speed and capacity of RAM can significantly affect a computer's performance. More RAM allows a computer to handle larger and more complex tasks simultaneously, while faster RAM can improve overall system responsiveness.

What is memory monitoring?

Memory monitoring refers to the process of tracking and analyzing the usage of RAM in a computer system. It involves continuously monitoring the amount of memory that is used by various processes and applications running on the system.

Memory monitoring tools like PRTG provide real-time data on memory usage and help users identify potential performance issues such as memory leaks or excessive resource consumption.

What does PRTG RAM monitoring include?

PRTG is a proprietary software tool that works as a memory checker and tracks and analyzes RAM usage across your network. Available for on-premises servers or as a cloud-hosted solution, it helps you pinpoint memory-hungry applications, servers, and other network components, so you can prevent bottlenecks and other issues and ensure there's always enough memory available to meet your organization's needs.

How does PRTG monitor memory?

PRTG uses sophisticated sensors that monitor RAM usage across your network using SNMP, WMI, or SSH. Each sensor tracks a specific parameter. Set a threshold, and PRTG will ping you via email, text, or in-app notification if a given parameter goes over or under it so you can make the necessary adjustments to optimize RAM before it slows down your network.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.

On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

 

PRTG the multi-tool

PRTG: The multi-tool for sysadmins

Adapt PRTG individually and dynamically to your needs and rely on a strong API:
