PRTG energy efficiency monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
No more unexpected shocks
Excessive energy use is bad news all round: for your equipment’s performance, for your organization’s operational costs, and for its sustainability goals.
PRTG’s energy monitoring system collects real-time data on electricity consumption, temperature, humidity, and other metrics that could impact your bills (and your network’s stability and performance).
Set energy consumption targets, pinpoint inefficiencies and waste, and use data on long-term trends to to keep your network working smoothly and build a compelling case for energy-saving initiatives your higher-ups can’t argue with.
PRTG makes monitoring energy efficiency as easy mas it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent energy usage spikes, overheating, excess humidity, and other issues that could raise your energy bills.
3 reasons why to choose PRTG as your energy efficiency monitoring tool
Lower energy costs
There’s nothing worse than energy waste (except maybe listening to accounts complain about how high your energy bills are). PRTG tracks energy consumption and other metrics in real time, so you can keep an eye on consumption patterns and optimize energy management.
Better performance
Electricity consumption spiking? With PRTG, you can pinpoint the cause and fix the issue before it causes unplanned downtime. Set your preferred thresholds and you’ll be automatically alerted before your hardware gets damaged or there’s a critical malfunction.
Proactive planning
Expand and upgrade your network, before you outgrow it. Our monitoring software tracks consumption patterns over time, so you can forecast future needs more accurately. And, with custom reports, you can prove the ROI of energy-saving initiatives in a few clicks.
What energy efficiency monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking servers, routers, switches, PDUs, UPSs, fans, and other hardware components and environmental statistics. Show power consumption, CPU load, memory usage, temperature, humidity, and other key metrics that could impact your network's energy efficiency in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot energy usage spikes, overheating, excess humidity, and other issues that could increase your energy bills and cause network malfunctions.

How PRTG will help you with your energy monitoring: 3 use cases
Control energy efficiency by monitoring PDUs
One way to monitor energy consumption is the use of intelligent, metered power distribution units (PDUs) that you can easily integrate with PRTG. This way, you can determine the energy usage of your entire infrastructure as well as the consumption of each connected device.
Monitor, for example, amperage, current, voltage, phase angle, and set custom thresholds to be alerted before something critical happens to your PDUs. This not only helps reduce costly downtime, but also saves energy costs as you can avoid unnecessary energy consumption, for example by standby devices.
Increase energy efficiency by monitoring UPSs
Monitoring your uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) cannot be underestimated. You can’t guarantee server uptime, for example, if a server is connected to an under-powered UPS that already runs at full capacity even without an impending power outage.
Set up PRTG to monitor your UPS systems with preconfigured PRTG sensors. Keep an eye on, for example, input & output voltage, battery status & remaining battery time, or overall uptime. If there is a voltage fluctuation or a power failure, PRTG immediately alerts you so that can react quickly before the issue becomes business critical.
Optimize energy efficiency in your entire data center
As the operation of data centers needs huge amounts of energy, which is very cost intensive, data center operators usually want to distribute the available energy as efficiently as possible among their data center infrastructure.
Data center monitoring not only includes network devices, but also aspects such as emergency lighting and air conditioning, or environmental values like temperature and humidity. The collected information can help you to reduce energy waste and ensure suitable power distribution conditions.
