PRTG ping latency monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes ping latency monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent network issues that result from unavailable devices.
Take command of your network latency
Your network is a battleground, and like it or not, you are the general in charge of winning the war against all things that jeopardize your infrastructure. Ever on the lookout, you spot a mortal enemy – high ping latency. You reach for your most potent weapon – Paessler PRTG. It watches the enemy and reports their every move. By conducting continuous ping and latency tests across various IP addresses, PRTG helps you identify bad actors before they bring your network’s walls down.
Constantly monitor round-trip time
In the heat of battle, timely intelligence can shift the tide. PRTG uses the ICMP protocol to send echo requests (ping) to your network devices and eagerly awaits their replies. This process measures your round-trip time (RTT), giving you real-time and relevant data on network latency.
By keeping an attentive eye on these metrics, detecting anomalies happens faster than your adversaries can mount an attack, ensuring your network devices are always ready for action.
Keep packet loss and jitter in check
Packet loss and jitter are covert saboteurs undermining your supply lines. High levels of packet loss can disrupt your network's harmony, causing data packets to go missing in action.
PRTG's ping latency monitoring tool keeps these sleeper spies in check, alerting you when thresholds are breached. It's a scout that quickly warns you of any breaches in your defenses, so you can reinforce your network's reliability.
Receive immediate notifications
When latency spikes or packet loss increases, every second counts. PRTG provides instant notifications, allowing you to respond to any threat with decisive measures.
Whether it's through email, SMS, or push notifications, you'll be informed the moment your network's performance is compromised. With PRTG, you can mobilize your resources quickly, preventing minor skirmishes from escalating into full-scale outages.
Analyze network performance in detail
Understanding the battlefield terrain is essential for any general. PRTG offers detailed graphs and dashboards that map out your network's latency, response times, and overall performance over time.
These insights help you strategize and make informed decisions, ensuring that your network remains robust and resilient against any latency issues.
Monitor across cloud services world-wide
Your battleground isn't confined to just on-premises infrastructure; it spans the cloud and various network devices. PRTG ensures you're covered on all fronts.
Monitor latency to cloud providers, virtual machines, and a multitude of remote network devices world-wide. It's like having surveillance across all your territories, ensuring all endpoints communicate without delay.
What latency and ping monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking average latency and response times using ping. Show bandwidth usage, packet loss, jitter, load times, 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 network problems that result from high latency and unresponsive network devices.
