IT service monitoring is the ongoing process of tracking the performance, availability, and overall health of your IT services. This includes a wide range of components, from your network infrastructure and servers to applications, databases, and even user endpoints.
A robust monitoring system provides the insights needed to ensure your services are running smoothly and meeting performance expectations. This data allows for proactive problem detection, performance optimization, and helps you improve your service management.
PRTG utilizes a variety of methods to monitor your IT services, ensuring comprehensive coverage and compatibility with diverse technologies. It uses pre-configured and customizable sensors to collect data on various metrics, such as availability, performance, usage and more. It utilizes various protocols and technologies, like SNMP, WMI, performance counters, API monitoring, and much more.
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.
