PRTG server health monitoring: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes server health monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent hardware malfunctions, outages, and all kinds of performance issues.
Give your servers the attention they deserve
Your servers are the lifeblood of your business. From hosting websites to running critical applications, you can't afford downtime. With Paessler PRTG's server health monitoring software, you can rest easy knowing your servers are healthy and ready for action.
Know your server status at all times
Forget mystery server issues and poor uptime. PRTG gives you live, round-the-clock visibility into all the essential health and performance metrics. View CPU utilization, disk health, fan speeds, and network connectivity in one dashboard.
Whether you manage one Windows server or a fleet of mixed web servers, virtual servers, SQL servers, or file servers, PRTG has you covered.
Fix issues before users even notice
Why wait for a bad user experience? PRTG puts you ahead of the curve with insights that lead to fast response times. PRTG proactively identifies potential issues like failed power supplies, latency issues, bandwidth bottlenecks, poor application performance, or low storage capacity.
Custom thresholds trigger alerts when something goes out of range, so you can prevent minor hiccups from becoming major problems.
Track the health of every server, anywhere
A company’s IT infrastructure can range from a single server to multiple server rooms, making network monitoring more challenging. No matter how distributed your server environment is, PRTG scales with you.
Local server or remote, physical server or virtual, PRTG can track them all. From the server room down the hall to the cloud-based servers across the globe, you’ll have full network performance data at your fingertips.
See the whole server health picture
Server management isn’t guesswork, and PRTG doesn’t just tell you a server is “broken.” It tells you why. Is it the CPU, RAM, disk, power supply, or network connection? Detailed server health checks tell you exactly where the root cause is, so you can start troubleshooting.
Rising CPU temperatures, power supply failures, memory usage issues – you’ll know before they bring your servers to a screeching halt.
Maintain a cool and calm server room
Environmental factors matter. Overheating server racks can lead to system failure. PRTG’s server health monitoring capabilities include tracking the temperature, humidity, and airflow in server rooms.
If conditions shift beyond safe limits for optimal performance, you’ll be the first to know – giving you a chance to take action before your servers call it quits.
