Monitoring CDN: FAQ
What is a CDN?
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers that deliver web content to users based on their geographic location. It improves website performance metrics by caching content close to the user's location, reducing latency and load times. CDNs also enhance security by protecting against DDoS attacks and handling high traffic loads. They ensure high availability and reliability of content delivery.
What CDN data can PRTG monitor?
PRTG can monitor almost everything you can think of in your CDN, for example:
- Bandwidth for outstanding CDN endpoints
- Latency
- Global HTTP response times and response codes
- Global IP address ping times
- Content checks in all locations
- CDN logs
- Server hardware parameters like load, CPU usage, number of pages served
- Detailed data of all components between CDN and origin servers: load balancers, firewalls, web servers, routers, switches
- Possibility to retrieve data via the API of your CDN provider
Can PRTG monitor multi-CDN environments?
Absolutely! PRTG provides a unified monitoring solution capable of overseeing multiple CDNs. This enables seamless performance tracking across various service providers and network nodes.
How does PRTG help in optimizing CDN performance?
PRTG collects extensive data on your CDN's operations, from bandwidth usage to error rates, helping you fine-tune your setups for optimal performance. Use this data to adjust caching strategies, balance loads more effectively, and enhance overall delivery speed.
Opt for Paessler PRTG and ensure not just operational prowess but also a delightful experience for your users. Advance with a monitoring tool that grows with you and provides deep insights into every aspect of your content delivery network.
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.
