Server room monitoring refers to the process of continuously overseeing the various conditions and systems within a server room or data center to ensure they are functioning correctly and efficiently. This involves the use of specialized server room monitoring tools such as PRTG to monitor several key aspects, including environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, air flow), power supply (voltage levels, power outages), backup systems, physical security (access control, logging, surveillance), network performance, and server health.
Yes, PRTG monitors a wide range of environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, airflow, and even potential leaks, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
PRTG ensures continuous monitoring through its failover cluster feature. This system involves having multiple PRTG servers working in parallel, with one acting as the master and the others as failover nodes. If the master node fails due to a network outage or any other reason, one of the failover nodes automatically takes over, ensuring that monitoring continues uninterrupted.
Additionally, PRTG stores monitoring data in a database that can be replicated and backed up, preserving historical data even in the event of a server failure.
Yes, PRTG is designed to monitor multiple server rooms and data centers from a single console. This centralized monitoring capability allows IT administrators to manage and oversee the environmental conditions and infrastructure status of different locations. PRTG aggregates data from various sensors spread across different sites into a unified dashboard, providing a comprehensive view of the entire network's health and performance.
PRTG can integrate with HVAC systems that are equipped with network-enabled controllers. By using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), Modbus, or other relevant protocols, PRTG can collect and monitor data from HVAC systems, such as temperature readings, humidity levels, and system status.
PRTG helps in predicting potential server room issues by utilizing historical data analysis and threshold-based alerts. By continuously monitoring server room conditions and equipment performance, PRTG can identify trends and patterns that may indicate impending problems.
For example, if PRTG detects a gradual increase in temperature or humidity over time, it can trigger alerts before these conditions exceed safe thresholds. Additionally, PRTG’s customizable sensors can be set to monitor specific metrics that may predict hardware failure, such as increasing vibration levels or power fluctuations, allowing IT teams to intervene early and prevent downtime.
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.
