PRODUCT OVERVIEW

”PRTG helps us monitor critical security systems to give customers the peace of mind that their devices are operational and protecting their valuable assets.”

Rob Jackson, President
Integrated Precision Systems

“When it comes to security, we do of course use classic tools such as firewalls, virus scanners, and intrusion detection systems. However, these are no longer enough today. PRTG provides for additional security by detecting unusual behavior which may be a sign that a hacker has outsmarted our security systems.”

Damir Karacic, IT Administrator
Noris Inklusion

“Monitoring with PRTG is crucial for security. Today’s threats can move low and slow, so in addition to looking at the usual suspects, you also need to keep tabs on other indicators. For example, if a server is running a peak capacity for no apparent reason, you want to know so you can take a look and see what’s up – for example an open connection that is being used to extract data in a ransomware attack.”

Jon Larsen, CIO
Richweb

“The best thing about PRTG is that it provides for simple and effective monitoring, all the while respecting the security requirements of manufacturers. PRTG is so easy to use, that many of our monitoring tasks are now handled by our interns. We will definitely expand our use of the software in the future.”

Karsten Boettger, Head of IT

Registry Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is registry monitoring?

Registry monitoring is the process of tracking and analyzing changes to the Windows registry in real-time. It helps prevent unauthorized modifications, system issues, or security vulnerabilities by alerting administrators when critical changes occur. This functionality is especially useful for maintaining system stability and ensuring compliance with organizational policies.

How does Paessler PRTG monitor the Windows registry?

Paessler PRTG provides real-time registry monitoring for Windows-based systems. It tracks changes to the registry and sends notifications when important modifications are detected. With customizable alerts and comprehensive auditing features, PRTG offers a user-friendly solution for monitoring critical registry entries and ensuring system integrity. Its seamless integration with other monitoring tools enhances the overall workflow and helps improve the user experience.

Why should I use PRTG for registry monitoring instead of other providers?

PRTG offers more than just registry monitoring; it delivers a complete set of features, including real-time notifications, customizable dashboards, and integration with automation tools like PowerShell and API. Businesses working in sectors like insurance monitoring and carrier onboarding, benefit from PRTG's ease of use, scalability, and flexible subscription model. The platform ensures robust registry monitoring for industries that require strict auditing, such as registry monitoring insurance services.

Can PRTG help with compliance and auditing requirements?

Yes, PRTG simplifies auditing and compliance processes by logging all registry changes. Administrators can generate detailed reports for auditing purposes, which is critical for businesses needing insurance information or regulatory compliance. The platform also supports integration with authentication tools like Microsoft Active Directory, ensuring that access to registry changes is controlled and monitored securely.

Can I integrate PRTG’s registry monitoring with my current workflows?

Absolutely. Registry monitoring in PRTG integrates easily with existing workflows, including API-based systems and automation tools like dot net or PowerShell. This helps businesses, such as shippers and carriers, streamline their processes. Whether it’s automating notifications about registry changes or integrating with third-party platforms, PRTG fits into your current IT infrastructure with minimal disruption.

How does PRTG enhance the user experience for registry monitoring?

PRTG enhances the user experience by offering real-time monitoring, customizable metrics, and intuitive dashboards. Users can track registry changes, receive automated notifications, and easily navigate the system. It’s designed to support IT teams all around the globe with tools to ensure system integrity without adding unnecessary complexity.

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.
