Monitoring from the cloud: FAQ
What is cloud-based network monitoring?
Every IT team needs a reliable network monitoring tool. Traditionally installed on an in-house server, a network monitoring software monitors every aspect of local and distributed networks, including bandwidth, hardware, and the CPU usage of virtual machines. A cloud-based network monitoring tool, on the other hand, runs in the cloud. As a result, it does not need to be hosted by a dedicated in-house server.
What can I monitor with PRTG Hosted Monitor?
Routers, switches, servers, hardware, operating systems, applications, virtualized environments, cloud infrastructure, websites, email servers, databases, VoIP and QoS, IP SLA, logs, events, performance, NetFlow/IPFIX, sFlow and jFlow, packet sniffing, SNMP, WMI, REST API, temperature, humidity, and much more!
We offer over 250 sensors out of the box and many customizable options like preconfigured custom sensors and using your own scripts.
What's the difference between PRTG Hosted Monitor and PRTG Network Monitor?
PRTG Hosted Monitor is offered as a service by Paessler and runs in the cloud. You don't need a PRTG core server installation inside your network because we take over the hosting for you.

How does PRTG Hosted Monitor collect data?
With PRTG Hosted Monitor, you can instantly start to monitor all servers, services, or devices that are publicly available via the internet. If you'd like to monitor targets in your LAN that aren't available over the internet, you can install a remote probe in your network. The remote probe collects the monitoring data from your internal network and connects back to your PRTG Hosted Monitor instance in the cloud, where all monitoring data is centrally available.
You can connect as many remote probes as you'd like to make multiple LANs available that may be separated by firewalls, or to use packet sniffing on computers in your LAN or WAN.
How is my monitoring affected when my internet connection is down?
The remote probe continues its monitoring and stores the results. Once the internet connection is re-established, cached data is sent to the cloud instance of PRTG Hosted Monitor and written to the database. Of course, without an internet connection, you will not be able to reach PRTG’s web-based user interface.
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.
