4 reasons why to choose PRTG as your OPC UA monitoring tool
As information technology and operational technology become more and more converged, monitoring your infrastructure not only with classic IT protocols like SNMP, but also with industrial standards like OPC UA (OPC Unified Architecture) is becoming more important than ever. Paessler PRTG is your all-in-one network monitoring solution that comes with support for Modbus TCP, MQTT, and OPC UA out of the box – for a combined overview of your IT & OT networks.
Monitor converged IT/OT networks
Monitoring classic IT infrastructures and OT networks together does not have to be complicated. With PRTG’s preconfigured OPC UA sensors, you can monitor your OT devices without much configuration effort.
PRTG’s user-friendly web interface helps you to easily add devices, define notification triggers, and set up your monitoring environment the way you need.
View from a central dashboard
Do away with checking IT and IIoT devices with multiple tools and on multiple dashboards. With OPC UA integration in PRTG, you get a combined overview of your classic IT and OPC UA devices – all in one place.
What’s more: The PRTG Map Editor functionality lets you easily create custom dashboards using drag and drop so that you have the status of all your critical devices and applications at a glance.
Receive custom alerts & notifications
Set individual warning and error thresholds and let our network monitoring tool do the work for you. With PRTG’s real-time alerts and customizable notification templates, you’re always notified in time.
Use OPC UA notifications, for example, to forward PRTG alerts by writing them to a predefined OPC UA tag on an OPC UA server like SCADA, DCS, or any other system that provides OPC UA server capability.
Implement predictive maintenance
When monitoring OT components, one of the most important goals is predictive maintenance. Prevent malfunctions and failures to avoid that production lines stop and high costs are incurred.
OPC UA monitoring with PRTG reliably informs you about the state of the various components of your production line, helps you with implementing a proactive approach to troubleshooting.
What OPC UA monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your entire IT and OT infrastructure. Show hardware status, uptime, session and subscription numbers, CPU usage, and more in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot your OPC UA components and connections proactively.
