Graphical network monitoring with PRTG

Not all graphical network monitoring tools are created equal

Maintaining a stable, reliable network without keeping a close eye on key health and performance metrics is like trying to drive a car blindfolded.

But it’s not the data itself that makes the difference. It’s being able to quickly grasp what that data is telling you. The easier it is to understand and digest, the more effective you’ll be as a system administrator, and, in turn, the more stable and reliable your network will be.

Paessler PRTG’s graphical network mapping and monitoring is designed to present critical information as intuitively as possible, so you can easily discover what’s going on in your network at any point in time.

Create your own topology maps, use preconfigured or custom toplists for quick reference, and design a network monitoring environment that works for you, instead of an environment you have to work around.

Custom visuals, live data: Why PRTG

Plug-and-play setup

Set up in minutes. The automatic network discovery detects every network device within a given IP address range, assigns the appropriate sensors, and builds a network topology. Once you're up and running, you can configure performance thresholds and tailor dashboards and other visuals to suit.

Real-time monitoring

See what's happening across your network, right now and in color. PRTG's sophisticated sensors collect live data from your network infrastructure round the clock, giving you comprehensive, pinpoint-accurate oversight and simplifying network management.

Complete customization

Tailor every visual component of the PRTG web interface so it meets your exact needs. Monitoring dashboards. Graphs. Maps. Color-coded status indicators. Toplists. Heatmaps. You can even import your own graphics, images, and HTML elements.

Flexible reporting

PRTG's customization capabilities don't stop with visuals. You can also build tailor-made reports for your higher-ups with a few clicks, and export them in your preferred format – CSV, XML, HTML, and even PDF. Oh, and you can add graphs and other custom visuals to them, too.

Performance you can see: PRTG's graphical network monitoring in action

Network performance monitoring doesn’t get any easier than this.

With preconfigured sensors and device templates, and support for all major protocols – SNMP, WMI, Windows performance counters, NetFlow, HTTP, and many more – our network monitoring software can track every variable imaginable, including:

• Windows servers, web servers, virtual servers, and other server types
• Databases, including MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, and database integrations from other major vendors
• Hardware from manufacturers like Cisco, Dell, IBM, and HPE

Pick your preferred performance thresholds, and PRTG keeps a continuous eye on key metrics, alerting you when they’re at risk of falling under or over.
