Say goodbye to juggling multiple tools and dealing with compatibility headaches. PRTG’s comprehensive monitoring solution brings everything under one roof, making it easier to manage.
Optimize, for example, search engine referencing by monitoring CDN hits according to node, country, and region, and ensure an acceptable website performance and up-to-date content in all locations.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking and debugging your Content Delivery Network. Show data transfer, response time, content errors, CDN server health, web application availability, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the visibility you need to troubleshoot issues like bandwidth bottlenecks, CDN-related network attacks, low performance, or even full outages.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers that deliver web content to users based on their geographic location. It improves website performance metrics by caching content close to the user's location, reducing latency and load times. CDNs also enhance security by protecting against DDoS attacks and handling high traffic loads. They ensure high availability and reliability of content delivery.
PRTG can monitor almost everything you can think of in your CDN, for example:
Absolutely! PRTG provides a unified monitoring solution capable of overseeing multiple CDNs. This enables seamless performance tracking across various service providers and network nodes.
PRTG collects extensive data on your CDN's operations, from bandwidth usage to error rates, helping you fine-tune your setups for optimal performance. Use this data to adjust caching strategies, balance loads more effectively, and enhance overall delivery speed.
Opt for Paessler PRTG and ensure not just operational prowess but also a delightful experience for your users. Advance with a monitoring tool that grows with you and provides deep insights into every aspect of your content delivery network.
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.
