Now, you can keep an eye on key metrics like network traffic, bandwidth usage, system and device status, and time synchronization via NTP, optimize performance, and troubleshoot issues without having to install or modify anything on your monitored devices themselves.
Simple to set up and use, but extremely powerful and highly customizable, our Linux network monitoring tool Paessler PRTG uses SNMP and SSH protocols, as well as custom scripts to securely send data to your PRTG servers, where you can keep track of your network's health and get alerted as soon as something's about to go wrong.

4 reasons to use PRTG as your Linux network management tool
Super simple setup
So easy you could do it in your sleep. The setup assistant will walk you through the process in the graphical web interface, and the auto-discovery detects Linux devices by IP address or DNS name in your LAN. Once you're up and running, you can customize the monitoring environment to suit your requirements.
Real-time alerts
Pick your preferred Linux server performance thresholds and get notified the second your Linux network usage is at risk of going under or exceeding them, so you can fix issues before they cause disruptions (and leave the office at a reasonable hour).
Complete visibility
A thorough view of your Linux network, at your fingertips. Whether you need to check real-time server capacity, free hard disk space, RAM, or other key network health stats, PRTG's customizable maps and dashboards make the process quick and easy.
Better results
Secure and optimize your Linux network with bandwidth monitoring, while reducing your workload. Need we say more? With PRTG working in the background 24/7, you'll save time, be proactive, and have the peace of mind that nothing will fall through the cracks.
