Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent downtime and other issues with IBM hard disks and servers.
Today’s modern IT infrastructure can range from a single, simple IBM device to a complex set of server farms, mainframes, fail safes, devices, applications, and a massive network connecting it all. Whether complex or simple, in an on-premises data center or a cloud-native context, Paessler PRTG protects those critical devices and servers, minimizing crashes, disturbances, and worry lines.
Watching one IBM device is easy; watching one hundred server integrations is much more difficult – unless you have PRTG.
PRTG IBM monitoring gives you a single, centralized dashboard that offers insight into your entire IT infrastructure, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Get insight when you need it, where you need it.
Hard disks can fail, and servers crash, but 24/7/365 IBM monitoring with PRTG gives you proactive error detection for better system health & performance.
PRTG provides alerts set to predefined warning and error thresholds, which are immediately sent out to designated stakeholders. This allows your IT team to react quickly to potential issues before they become critical problems.
Pouring through device and server information can be time-consuming, to say the least. PRTG integrates with IBM’s automation tools, making it easier to respond to common issues.
Continual monitoring by PRTG also helps you identify underused resources or areas of potential bottlenecks, which helps in more efficient optimization and allocation.
Complex environments necessitate an active network and can make it more difficult to detect security-focused anomalies.
Our IBM monitoring software provides comprehensive network traffic analysis and log monitoring, among others. These abilities help you detect and respond to security threats promptly while meeting compliance standards, even in complex IT environments.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your IBM server environment. Show availability, response time, latency, and other key metrics across your IBM components and applications in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot the root causes of issues with your IBM hardware.

When it comes to monitoring IBM systems, “observability” is a critical function beyond keeping an eye on system performance. It helps with understanding complex systems for faster problem resolution, reducing testing times, and providing insights for multiple IT functions. From product managers to developers, monitoring is necessary to maintain the health and performance of your IT infrastructure and to enhance overall user experience.
The preconfigured IBM sensors in PRTG check the status of all logical and virtual disks, as well as memory modules in your IBM servers. You can also monitor the system health of IBM devices: fan rotation, CPU temperature, humidity, voltage, and power supply status. This ensures your IBM devices continue to deliver the performance your company needs.
PRTG is designed to provide a complete monitoring feature set and is a comprehensive IBM monitoring solution that can monitor most devices and servers. Sensors can monitor IBM System X servers with SNMP and IBM StorWize with scripts and SNMP. For example, you can use a script to monitor various metrics such as virtual capacity, used capacity, and free capacity.
Absolutely. IBM monitoring can be easily integrated into PRTG’s full network monitoring capabilities, giving you even more information about your IT environment and infrastructure.
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.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
Everyone has different monitoring needs. That’s why we let you try PRTG for free.
