Ensure your SCADA systems are up and running, with PRTG
SCADA systems play a crucial role in OT networks that rely heavily on industrial automation. If they go down, the results will be costly.
However, while SCADA systems provide data about OT and production systems, this is only part of the picture. What about the hardware that supports the SCADA system? Or the status of Industrial PCs that are used in the industrial environment?
Paessler PRTG is comprehensive monitoring software that provides a holistic overview of your IT and OT – all in one place. Use it alongside control and execution systems (MES, DCS, Historian, BMS) to provide even more value for operators, engineers, and technicians.
PRTG makes SCADA system integration as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent industrial IT and OT network issues.
3 reasons why PRTG is the SCADA monitoring tool of your choice
Get the full picture of your converged IT and OT
In addition to OT metrics collected by SCADA systems, there are many other data points that are important for understanding an industrial environment.
PRTG collects real-time data from many areas of your infrastructure, for example:
- The health of switches (including metrics like port status and packet loss)
- The status of your UPS
- The memory and CPU usage of industrial PCs
- The health of industrial gateways
- The status of common IT devices like printers, servers, and much more.
Monitor the condition of your SCADA hardware
It’s also vital that you keep an eye on the availability and health of the hardware that your SCADA system runs on to make sure it works smoothly and efficiently.
PRTG lets you monitor SCADA data such as the CPU load, memory, storage space, performance, related databases and other metrics from the environment that your SCADA runs in.
Using SNMP, PRTG can also ensure that the systems themselves are up and running and provide alerts in the case of issues.
Receive custom alerts at different escalation levels
While a SCADA system already provides you with alarms when things go wrong in your OT network, PRTG can add a different level of alerting to ensure that nothing gets missed – such as warnings about the servers that the SCADA system runs on.
With PRTG, you can set thresholds so you’re alerted when conditions deviate from what is considered “normal”.
PRTG can also notify the right teams with targeted escalation notifications using various methods such as SMS, email, in-app push messages, and more.
