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 SNMP Traffic v2 sensor monitors bandwidth and traffic on a device. It can show the following:
The WMI Security Center sensor monitors the security status of a Windows client system. It can monitor all security products that are controlled by Windows Security Center / Windows Action Center. It can show the following:
The SSL Security Check sensor monitors Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) connectivity to the port of a device. It tries to connect to the specified TCP/IP port number of a device with different SSL/TLS versions and shows if the device supports a particular protocol. It can show the following:
The NetFlow v9 sensor receives traffic data from a NetFlow v9-compatible device and shows the traffic by type. This sensor has several filter options to divide traffic into different channels. It can show the following and more:
The Packet Sniffer sensor monitors the headers of data packets that pass a local network card using a built-in packet sniffer. You can choose from predefined channels. It can show the following and more:
The Cloud Ping v2 sensor monitors the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ping times to its parent device from different locations worldwide (Asia Pacific: Singapore, Asia Pacific: Sydney, Europe: Ireland, US East: Northern Virginia, US West: Northern California) via the PRTG Cloud. It can show the following:

Anomaly detection is the process of identifying unusual patterns or behaviors in data points that deviate from the expected norm. In network monitoring, anomaly detection techniques help identify traffic spikes, potential security threats, or abnormal behavior before they lead to major issues. You should use anomaly detection when monitoring complex networks or IT infrastructures where undetected anomalies could result in security breaches, performance degradation, or costly downtime.
PRTG anomaly detection works using various preconfigured sensors like SNMP, flow (NetFlow, sFlow), and packet sniffers to automate monitoring metrics like network traffic, device performance, and system resources. By analyzing the data these sensors collect in real time, PRTG detects deviations from normal network behavior such as unexpected traffic patterns or bandwidth hogs. The algorithm is used to compare normal behavior with historical data so that false positives can be avoided. The software then triggers alerts, allowing you to address potential issues proactively.
Anomaly detection algorithms are crucial for network security because they help detect irregular behavior that could indicate cyber threats like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, unauthorized access, or data breaches. By identifying standard deviations in traffic patterns or user behavior, anomaly detection systems can flag potential security risks early.
PRTG can detect several types of anomalies, including:
By monitoring metrics like network and device performance in real time, anomaly detection with PRTG allows you to spot potential bottlenecks, overused resources, or inefficient configurations. These datasets enable you to adjust bandwidth usage and fine-tune system settings to enhance overall performance and stability.
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.
