PRODUCT OVERVIEW

“From a server perspective, we're monitoring all of the key components of our service such as CPU usage, RAM disk space, the Windows services that it's running, and network connectivity of that server. In terms of networks, we’re monitoring all of our switches, firewalls, and access points. It’s really useful to be able to easily pull performance metrics from the PRTG dashboard.”

Ollie Kerslake, Infrastructure Lead
Riverford Organic Farmers

“The tool has given us greater control over all types of devices connected to the network (switches, IP telephony, security cameras, IoT, WiFi) that previously remained opaque when dealing with service incidents. This has improved our ability to diagnose and resolve problems, which has translated into greater efficiency and a better user experience in both internal and public services.”

Jordi Tolosà Bel, New Technologies Technician
Vinaroz City Council

“Our objective was to be able to monitor the health of our most critical servers containing data and applications, but also the flows and bandwidth between headquarters, our 50 servers in the cloud and the 15 servers at our production sites. For us, it is essential to have a proactive approach to understand where the weaknesses of the IT system are to be able to improve them.”

Marc Boullier, CIO

Dell Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is Dell monitoring?

Dell monitoring refers to the tools, software, and services needed to monitor and manage the performance, health, and security of Dell hardware and IT infrastructure. The goal is to ensure that Dell systems operate efficiently, identify and address potential issues proactively, and maintain optimal performance and functionality of Dell environments.

Why should I monitor my Dell infrastructure?

Monitoring your Dell infrastructure is crucial for several reasons:

1. Proactive issue detection

  • Monitoring tools can detect potential hardware or software issues before they become critical.
  • Identifying potential issues early enables you to take preventive actions, reducing the likelihood of system failures.

2. Performance monitoring

  • Monitoring performance metrics helps in optimizing resource usage, ensuring that your infrastructure is running efficiently and not overburdened.
  • By analyzing performance data, you can make informed decisions about tuning and configuring your systems for optimal performance.

3. Security enhancements

  • Continuous monitoring helps in identifying security threats and vulnerabilities in real-time, allowing for prompt action to mitigate risks.
  • Regular monitoring ensures that your systems comply with security policies and industry regulations.

4. Cost savings

  • Proactive monitoring and maintenance reduce the likelihood of unplanned downtime, which can be costly in terms of lost productivity and revenue.
  • By optimizing resource usage, you can avoid unnecessary expenditures on additional hardware or cloud services.

5. Enhanced user experience

  • Ensuring that your systems are running smoothly and efficiently enhances the experience for end-users, leading to higher satisfaction and productivity.
  • With Dell monitoring tools in place, IT teams can quickly identify and resolve issues, minimizing the impact on users.
Which Dell systems can PRTG monitor?

PRTG is comprehensive network monitoring and network management software that runs on Windows and Linux systems and that can basically monitor every piece of Dell Technologies firmware that supports SNMP and offers respective MIB (Management Information Base) files. We also offer preconfigured sensors for the following Dell servers and storage systems:

  • Dell PowerEdge
  • Dell EqualLogic
  • Dell PowerVault MDi
  • Dell EMC Unity
How does PRTG monitor Dell systems?

Dell sensors in PRTG are based on SNMP or REST technology. For Dell server sensors, you must first install the Dell OpenManage Enterprise and activate SNMP there. As an alternative, you can also run your monitoring via the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), or, for Dell EMC Unity systems, access data via the REST API.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

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.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

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.
