Monitor your ports with SNMP
Individual Port Bandwidth Monitoring
Would you like to have detailed traffic reports on each port of
your device?
Port Notification
You can be alerted if your TCP/IP ports are open
or closed.
Avoid port exhaustion
Have you ever run out of ports to your application servers and wish you were notified? PRTG Network Monitor can alert you so you know in advance before your ports are all used.
How PRTG can help
iWhat is a sensor?
In PRTG, “Sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, e.g. the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, the free space of a disk drive. On average you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
SNMP Traffic Sensors
PRTG Network Monitor can help solve all of these issues for you. Our SNMP Traffic Sensors will monitor your overall device, plus each individual port so you get the detailed overall picture. In addition, PRTG Network Monitor can send you notifications so you know if your TCP/IP and UDP ports are available or not.
Network communication
Communication in every infrastructure relies on the network. If one switch runs out of ports then there is a server, client machine or a device that will not be able to communicate with the rest of the infrastructure. A breakdown like that can cause a delay in business and a loss of productivity or profit.
Optimize your infrastructure
With PRTG Network Monitor you can avoid being surprised with port exhaustion. You can also monitor the bandwidth and usage of your switches and routers on a port-by-port basis. By default, PRTG keeps raw data for a year so you can track trends to help you optimize your infrastructure. It is always better to know about a problem before it happens rather than after and PRTG can help you do that.

4 Sensors for your SNMP Port Analyzer
SNMP Traffic Sensors
PRTG uses SNMP to collect information about your ports on your routers and switches. The channels in the SNMP Traffic Sensor includes Discards In/Out, Errors In/Out, Non-Unicast In/Out, Traffic In/Out/Total, Unicast In/Out and Downtime
Sensor Factory Sensor
If you want to average or total the channels from various ports you can use the Sensor Factory Sensor to do calculations from several different sensors and report/alert on the averages or totals.
Port Sensor
The PRTG Port Sensor will monitor each individual port by connecting to its TCP/IP port number and you can configure PRTG to let you know if the port is open or closed. You can also send the port a command through a telnet session through the sensor and have PRTG check the response.
Port Range Sensor
The Port Range Sensor monitors and alerts on a range of ports on a network service or device. It can show the number of open ports, the number of closed ports, and the time it takes for the request to be accepted. You can also set alerting limits for the number of closed or open ports.

“Hey Luciano, what would you tell administrators looking to set up SNMP monitoring with PRTG?”
“With PRTG, you not only get the many standard sensors which exist for SNMP monitoring, but also the ability to monitor devices even without having a native sensor for them. You can thus monitor practically any SNMP-compatible device! First of all, obtain the relevant MIB file containing a definition of all available OIDs from the manufacturer of your hardware. Then use the MIB importer to make the MIBs available to PRTG, and create an SNMP library sensor. Finally, select the properties of the target device you’d like to monitor, and within no time at all you’ll have the data you need!”
