Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent bandwidth bottlenecks, latency, and other network performance issues.
When working in an IT team – especially as a system admin – there’s nothing more nerve-wrecking and time-consuming than recurring problems (which could easily be solved if you could pinpoint the root cause of the problem). Raise the curtain for Paessler PRTG, your powerful network monitoring software and the solution to a lot of these issues.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking ethernet traffic on your endpoints and in your on-premises network infrastructure. Show ethernet availability and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot duplicate packets, unexpected downtimes or outages, and unwanted network loops.

While ethernet bandwidth monitoring is an important part of any viable network management strategy, a powerful and easy-to-use, real-time monitoring software such as PRTG can give you so much more.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The WMI Service sensor monitors a Windows service. It can show the following:
The DHCP sensor monitors a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. It sends a broadcast message to the network and waits for a DHCP server to respond. It can show the following:
The Port v2 sensor monitors a network service by connecting to one or more of its TCP/IP ports. It can show the following:
The SNMP Disk Free v2 sensor monitors the free disk space on a logical disk. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent bandwidth bottlenecks, latency, and other network performance issues.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

Ethernet is a common network technology. It facilitates the transmission of data over local area networks (LAN) and metropolitan area networks (MAN). It provides a standardized way for devices to communicate over a network, using a protocol that controls how the data is transmitted and ensures that the information arrives its destination safely and efficiently. It’s adaptable to both personal and professional environments and forms the backbone of most modern business networks.
Ethernet monitoring is the process of monitoring the health and performance of ethernet networks to ensure that they are operating efficiently and securely. By tracking real-time data such as bandwidth usage, network traffic, and device status, monitoring your ethernet helps to identify and resolve issues that can affect network connectivity and performance.
Identifying ethernet performance issues within a network involves monitoring various metrics such as network traffic, bandwidth utilization, the health of network devices including routers, switches and repeaters, and security-related parts like the firewall.
Ethernet performance monitoring software such as PRTG provides real-time visibility into these metrics, allowing IT professionals to detect anomalies that may indicate problems such as network congestion, bandwidth bottlenecks, or failing hardware.
Ethernet problems can result in network downtime, reduced data transfer speeds, and overall network instability. These problems can disrupt business operations, resulting in lost productivity, negative financial impact, and potential security risks. Persistent problems can also drain IT resources, as teams spend more time troubleshooting and less time on future projects and strategic initiatives.
PRTG streamlines ethernet bandwidth monitoring by providing a comprehensive set of tools to continuously track network performance. This includes features like:
Yes, PRTG can be used as an ethernet performance test tool. Thanks to the large number of specialized ethernet monitoring sensors, data such as uptime monitoring or bandwidth consumption can be collected and visualized.
Since PRTG is also an advanced bandwidth calculator and network reporting tool, you can quickly find out where bottlenecks are and how they affect your ethernet performance. You always have the right software to improve your network performance strategy and to monitor your entire IT 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.
