Why Linux performance monitoring is a must
If your network is built on Linux servers or you use several Linux computers, then performance is a vital criterion for ensuring the efficiency of work processes and the maximum availability of your services.
Of course, you can get insights into the system performance via built-in Linux tools like htop or dstat, but PRTG provides you with even further information: you get a detailed overview of the system and device status of all your devices. The performance of your Linux network is dependent upon parameters such as CPU load, disk space, system load, and available memory. Important insight can also be gained from data on the availability and traffic of your Linux servers.
PRTG lets you keep a constant eye on Linux performance. By using monitoring to quickly detect and remove bottlenecks, the number of network errors will be kept to a minimum. You'll allow your coworkers to work without interruption, not to mention impress your manager.
Your benefits in a nutshell:
- Get detailed information about the performance of your Linux environment
- PRTG is the ideal complement to built-in monitoring tools like htop or dstat
- Avoid interruptions and ensure a high-performance of your Linux environment

How to monitor Linux performance with PRTG
PRTG Network Monitor comes with special sensors for Linux and Unix. PRTG is an agentless monitoring tool which means there’s nothing to install or modify on the target machine and you don't need command line skills.
SSH and SNMP protocols are used to provide detailed information on Linux performance. For example, you can keep a constant eye on the amount of memory used by all your devices and be alerted if one of your predefined values is exceeded. Memory utilization monitoring is especially important if you use application and terminal servers.
PRTG also monitors the bandwidth of your Linux systems and can sort bandwidth usage by port, user, and application. As a result, you can quickly identify unusual or suspicious traffic.
