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 Traceroute Hop Count sensor traces the number of hops from the probe system to the IP Address/DNS Name of the parent device. It can show the following:
The HTTP Full Web Page sensor monitors the full download time of a web page including assets such as images. In the background, it opens the web page in a browser instance to perform the measurement. It can show the following:
The SNMP Traffic v2 sensor monitors bandwidth and traffic on a device. It can show the following:
The DNS v2 sensor monitors a Domain Name System (DNS) server, resolves domain name records, and compares them to a filter. It can show the following:
The Script v2 sensor runs a Python script (.py) on the probe system. It can show the following:
The Ping v2 sensor sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request ("ping") from the probe system to the parent device to monitor its availability. It can show the following:
• Response time
• Packet loss
• Target status
• Minimum and maximum ping time
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.

A broadband connection monitoring tool tracks the stability, speed, and performance of your internet connection. It helps identify problems such as high jitter, packet loss, and slow internet speed. By monitoring key metrics such as response time, latency, and downtime, businesses can maintain a reliable network connection and ensure optimal performance for critical applications.
An unstable broadband connection can disrupt daily tasks, causing internet connection issues like slow web page loading, failed video calls, and buffering media. By using an internet connection monitor, you can identify ISP-related problems, optimize bandwidth usage, and prevent unexpected downtime. With real-time alerts and historical data analysis, you gain control over your internet speed and network reliability.
PRTG continuously monitors your network connection, identifying slowdowns and outages before they impact your users. It tracks internet speed, latency, and jitter across multiple endpoints, helping you detect ISP or local network issues. With built-in speed test sensors, firewall monitoring, and DNS diagnostics, PRTG provides a complete solution for optimizing broadband performance.
Yes, PRTG monitors routers, modems, switches, and other critical devices in your local network.

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.
