Monitoring IT infrastructure: FAQ
What is IT infrastructure monitoring?
Companies depend on their information technology. With IT infrastructure monitoring, networks, services and applications, in fact the entire IT system (including virtual and cloud environments), are monitored and analyzed around the clock to see whether they are online and achieving the service level desired by the company.
What components does an IT infrastructure include?
IT infrastructures are multi-layered and contain network components and hardware, as well as software applications and operating systems. IT environments usually contain the following:
| Hardware | Software | Network components |
| Server | Applications | |
| Operating systems | ||
| Fan and cooling systems | Content management systeme | |
| Air conditioners | CRM software | Hubs |
| IoT systems | ERP software | |
| Services |
How does IT infrastructure monitoring work?
IT infrastructure monitoring involves observing and managing the components of an organization's IT infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, availability, and security. Here's an overview of how it works:
- Data collection: Monitoring tools like PRTG gather data from devices, applications, and networks. This is achieved using agentless monitoring, where protocols like SNMP, WMI, or APIs are used to collect data without requiring agents.
- Metric tracking: Metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, latency, uptime, and error rates are continuously tracked.
- Network monitoring: Focuses on traffic, bandwidth, and device connectivity.
- Server monitoring: Monitors server hardware and operating systems for issues like high load or downtime.
- Application performance monitoring (APM): Tracks application performance, user experience, and error rates.
- Cloud infrastructure monitoring: Observes resources in cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Database monitoring: Ensures database performance and availability.
What is the price of the paid version of PRTG? What does it include?
PRTG’s flexible subscription licensing makes it easy to scale as needed. You pay only for the number of sensors you need. After your 30-day free trial of the unlimited version of PRTG, you can still use the free version with 100 free sensors. Review our pricing
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.
