Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hardware, software, and IT infrastructure issues.
When you’re in data analytics, network management, or systems administration, you already know specific threshold alerts are time, money, and resource savers. Threshold monitoring with Paessler PRTG helps you gain even more control of your network and IT infrastructure, including devices, systems, traffic, and applications.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking hardware, applications, web services, and more, using custom threshold baselines. Show bandwidth usage, availability, CPU utilization, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot network and infrastructure issues based on performance thresholds.

is very hard to beat”
PRTG gives you the power to monitor and manage your entire network and IT environment across servers, devices, vendors, service providers, and more.
PRTG can be fully integrated into your network or only monitor a single device. It’s up to you how many devices you monitor in your network. It just needs an IP address to add it to your monitoring setup. Customize PRTG to meet your own needs and requirements.
Don’t get bothered by unnecessary alerts. PRTG makes it easy to configure your threshold values to match the needs of your IT ecosystem.
Set your threshold alerts to higher sensitivity for critical devices adversely affected by minor deviations. Set them to lower sensitivities for systems and devices that have a higher performance variability, so you aren’t bothered by unnecessary alerts.
View the status and health of your devices at a single glance. Using a simple traffic lights system for visualizing warnings (yellow), errors (red), and everything that’s running as expected (green), you can see immediately when an issue arises.
You can also create reports of capacities over specific time periods to recognize trends. PRTG reports are easy to understand and help you determine the capacity of your network at a glance.
Real-time notifications mean faster troubleshooting so that you can act before more serious issues occur.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.
“Excellent tool for detailed monitoring. Alarms and notifications work greatly. Equipment addition is straight forward and server initial setup is very easy. ...feel safe to purchase it if you intend to monitor a large networking landscape.”

Threshold monitoring is a technique used in various fields, including computer science, finance, and environmental science. It involves setting predefined thresholds or limits for certain parameters or variables.
These thresholds act as benchmarks for normal operation or acceptable levels of a particular metric. When the observed value of the parameter exceeds or falls below the set threshold, an alert or action is triggered, indicating a potential issue or deviation from the expected behavior.
PRTG uses sensors to monitor networks and IT environments. These sensors are preconfigured but customizable, so you can use the most common configurations or set individual threshold values to meet your needs. When a designated metric gets close to the threshold, PRTG sends an alert to the key stakeholder.
For example, the SNMP CPU Load sensor monitors your CPU performance. PRTG comes with preconfigured sensors for all the biggest manufacturers, including Cisco, IBM, Dell, and HPE. What’s more, all your CPU threshold values are customizable. PRTG will automatically (and promptly) send you an alert – before the system goes down.
Different thresholds represent various states of performance, resource usage, or operational health. They help to distinguish between when things are operating normally and when there are potential issues. Thresholds in PRTG include:
For many sensors, it only takes a few short minutes:
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.
