Cisco monitoring refers to the process of observing and managing Cisco network devices and services to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and security. This involves using specialized software tools like Paessler PRTG to track the health, status, and activity of routers, switches, firewalls, and other network components.
Key metrics include bandwidth usage, device uptime, latency, and error rates. Cisco network monitoring tools help detect issues earlier and become more proactive in troubleshooting.
PRTG uses SNMP and flow technologies to monitor Cisco devices.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the easiest way to monitor your network. Network and CPU loads are minimal, however an analysis with regard to protocol or an IP address is impossible. Use this protocol whenever you can for the most efficient monitoring.
NetFlow
NetFlow is a Cisco technology which minimizes bandwidth consumption by determining bandwidth usage within a device and collectively transmitting it to PRTG. NetFlow offers a higher degree of detail (e.g. per network protocol/IP address) than SNMP, and because of its low consumption, it is ideal for Cisco networks with a large amount of traffic.

Cisco’s own monitoring software, Cisco Prime Network Analysis Module, cannot monitor hardware from other manufacturers the way PRTG can. Since many sysadmins manage IT infrastructures that contain hardware from a variety of manufacturers, it’s essential to use a monitoring tool like PRTG which incorporates the technology you’ll need to monitor almost any hardware. And with PRTG, you can view all monitoring data together on an easy-to-read dashboard.
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.
