Ethernet monitoring with PRTG

5 problems you can solve with the PRTG ethernet monitoring tool

When working in an IT team – especially as a system admin – there’s nothing more nerve-wrecking and time-consuming than recurring problems (which could easily be solved if you could pinpoint the root cause of the problem). Raise the curtain for Paessler PRTG, your powerful network monitoring software and the solution to a lot of these issues.

More than ethernet monitoring software:
Improve your network performance management with PRTG

While ethernet bandwidth monitoring is an important part of any viable network management strategy, a powerful and easy-to-use, real-time monitoring software such as PRTG can give you so much more.

Improved network bandwidth reliability

With PRTG, you are prepared for all eventualities. Whether you want to get to the bottom of a network congestion, check your ethernet traffic or perform general ethernet troubleshooting – PRTG is the monitoring software of your choice.

Automated and customizable alerts

Whether it's a problem with your network devices, routers, or anything else, PRTG will alert you immediately with customizable notifications. Set individual error thresholds to trigger alerts when you need them, configure detailed alerting rules, and choose your preferred notification method such as email, SMS, or push notification.

Detailed monitoring dashboards

For ethernet monitoring tools to provide real value, they must not only be quick to install, but also work out of the box. To get you up and running immediately, PRTG installs quickly and offers an Auto-Discovery feature, as well as preconfigured dashboards (or maps in PRTG) and the ability to customize or create completely new ones.

Reliable data for improved IT security

Whether DDoS, ransomware, or the classic trojan horse –  network attacks on IT infrastructure have unfortunately become part of everyday life. PRTG is here to help you get the information you need to protect your IT by monitoring your critical security points and devices across your entire distributed network in real time.

Streamline your entire IT/OT operations

While you are using the SNMP Disk Free v2 sensor to check the space on your hard disks, and the free PRTG apps for iOS and Android to have a look at the latest data on the way to the server room, why not also check the OT network of your company’s production floor? Because with PRTG, you can streamline your entire IT/OT operations with one comprehensive monitoring software.
