PRTG fan monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes fan speed monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent potential fan failures and overheating issues.
3 good reasons to monitor your fans with PRTG
With Paessler PRTG as your fan monitoring tool, you can avoid fluctuations in voltage and overheating as it helps you control the speed and temperature of your fans. Plus, PRTG is an all-in-one network monitoring software that integrates monitoring of your fan with monitoring your entire IT infrastructure.
More reliable IT systems
Properly working fans are crucial to your IT system’s reliability. Because if data cannot be retrieved from overheated servers and other network devices, this will certainly hamper business processes and productivity. PRTG helps you avoid costly downtime with easy fan health monitoring.
Reduced hardware costs
You’ll save money with PRTG since you will not have to replace equipment as frequently. PRTG helps your hardware run smoothly by ensuring its surroundings are well-ventilated and free of excessive heat, since systems last longer when they stay cool.
Optimal resource usage
PRTG helps you save on energy costs by ensuring your IT systems are energy-efficient. It keeps a 24/7 eye on temperature, power distribution units, and even air conditioners in your data centers and server rooms to help prevent systems from overheating.
What fan monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the availability, health, and performance of your fans. Show fan rotation per minute (RPM), the overall fan status, the number of failed fans, airflow, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot overheating fans and other fan failures.
