Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent issues in your EC2 web service.
Managing an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment can be a real challenge. Especially when it comes to maintaining comprehensive observability of your instances and ensuring that performance issues don't go unnoticed.
Without the right EC2 monitoring tools, it’s easy for potential problems to slip through the cracks.
Paessler PRTG steps in to fill these gaps and helps you to avoid unnecessary costs in the operation of your AWS environment and also prevents expensive downtimes.
PRTG’s AWS EC2 v2 sensors continuously collect metrics via the Amazon CloudWatch API such as CPU credits, system status checks, disk I/O, memory usage, network interfaces, and bandwidth.
This in-depth visibility allows you to identify and address any bottlenecks or underperforming instances.
Adapt your PRTG monitoring setup to focus on the metrics that matter most to your operations.
Set up customized alerts to notify you of potential issues based on your specific thresholds, ensuring you’re always in control.
PRTG includes many different types of sensors with which you can fully monitor your AWS CloudWatch metrics.
Whether AWS cloud costs, load balancing, your AWS Elastic Block Score or databases, PRTG is prepared for it.
Whether you’re running your Elastic Cloud as a single Amazon EC2 instance type, or a complex, multi-region deployment, PRTG scales with your needs.
This ensures consistent monitoring and performance tracking as your cloud infrastructure grows.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your AWS EC2 performance. Show EC2 costs, database performance, CPU usage, disk read and write operations, and other key metrics in real time.

Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS EC2) is a web service that provides scalable computing capacity in the cloud. With EC2, users can run virtual servers, known as instances, to host applications, run workloads, or perform various computing tasks without needing to invest in physical hardware.
With monitoring your AWS EC2 setup, you are able to catch problems early and keep your AWS services costs under control. Without monitoring, you might miss resource overuse, performance issues, downtime or unexpected expenses.
Key aspects of monitoring EC2 include tracking CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, and network performance. Additionally, monitoring system health, instance availability, and security-related metrics like failed login attempts are essential to maintaining a robust and secure infrastructure.
PRTG offers an AWS Cost sensor that monitors your credit balance in real time. It provides insights into your AWS usage costs, and help you to identify trends, optimize workloads, resource allocation, and prevent budget overruns by setting up alerts when resource usage pricing exceed predefined thresholds.
With PRTG, you can monitor a wide range of AWS metrics, including CPU utilization, memory and storage usage, network traffic, and other system-level metrics. Additionally, PRTG supports monitoring specific AWS services like Elastic Block Store (EBS), Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), and Relational Database Service (RDS). All these aspects allow you to have a comprehensive visibility across your entire AWS environment.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
