Get in-depth insight into your Cisco network with PRTG sensors
As a Cisco Development Select Partner, Paessler PRTG is fully integrated with the Cisco ecosystem and comes with specially developed sensors for Cisco devices out of the box. By professionally monitoring Cisco-related parameters, you can exhaust all its possibilities:
- Effortlessly obtain an overview of the Cisco system status
- Get comprehensive reports on device status and your Cisco hardware like routers or switches
- Gain valuable information on network traffic, connections, and users
- Ensure system health, high performance, connection stability, and application security in your Cisco networks
Additional sensors use Cisco-specific NetFlow technology for traffic monitoring. From ADSL to VPN connections, all the way to VoIP applications: PRTG ensures the quality of your service and helps everyone work with peace of mind.
Cisco performance monitoring: Keep an eye on routers, switches, and ports
Cisco router monitoring
Cisco routers are extremely stable and offer high levels of security, which makes them popular with network administrators. With PRTG, you can easily monitor your Cisco routers using NetFlow or SNMP.
Cisco switch monitoring
Cisco switches can often cause bottlenecks in a network. If a Cisco switch malfunctions or becomes overloaded, the entire network can suffer. Avoid this with professional switch monitoring, which automatically alerts you if problems arise and helps you avoid downtime.
Cisco port monitoring
PRTG uses NetFlow, SNMP, and packet sniffing to monitor open and closed ports. This helps you know if your Cisco ports are working properly, and determines how much (and which) traffic is flowing through the ports.
Cisco QoS monitoring
Monitor the quality of service of your Cisco devices with our built-in sensor for keeping an eye on Cisco CBQoS metrics, which uses data from Cisco’s Class-Based Quality of Service.
Cisco IP SLA monitoring
For Cisco devices that support IP SLA, you can use a preconfigured PRTG sensor for checking Cisco IP SLA parameters. Easily monitor your service level agreements and quality of service with PRTG.
What Cisco network monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the performance and health of your Cisco devices. Show bandwidth, traffic, VoIP, application performance, hardware health, and other key performance metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot outages and all kinds of other issues with your Cisco network.

PRTG is compatible with all major vendors, products, and systems
7 reasons to choose PRTG as your Cisco monitoring tool
Easy VoIP benchmarking
PRTG pre-calculates specific parameters (e.g. ICPIF, MOS) right from the analysis stage because they are especially prone to data delays and losses. This makes it easier to directly perform benchmarking without additional calculations.
Complete quality assurance
By merging all relevant parameters in just a few PRTG sensors, you can easily measure the service quality of your Cisco network and use your findings to make sound future planning decisions.
IPsec VPN connections overview
For Cisco devices with Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), you get an easy-to-read overviewof traffic, users, and IPsec-secured VPN connections. Finding out which users are online and offline is a cinch with PRTG.
System health at a glance
With PRTG, you get a clear and reliable overview of all necessary system health metrics, including temperature, CPU load, power supply status, fan status, and available memory.
Custom alerts & notifications
If an error occurs in your network or if one of your self-defined warning or error thresholds is exceeded, you’ll be notified immediately the way you want, including email, SMS, or in-app push notification.
Automation for a lighter workload
You no longer need to take the time to check each and every Cisco device manually due to PRTG’s easily configured sensors, customizable notifications, and individually created dashboards and maps.
Enhanced network security
Thanks to our Cisco-specific and clear-cut monitoring, you’ll be quicker to spot network security loopholes in your Cisco devices and prevent emergencies.
