As of July 1, 2024, Paessler has decided to move PRTG Network Monitor to a subscription-based licensing model and is offering 3-year subscriptions for all PRTG Network Monitor licenses.
This is to accelerate Paessler’s ability to continuously improve the product, maximize the value it creates for customers worldwide, and provide better support to further enhance the customer experience.
Please note that perpetual licenses with maintenance renewals will no longer be available for purchase. Instead, users who decide to switch to the subscription model will receive a discount of 20% or more (depending on the license)!
FAQ:
Question: What happens to the (perpetual) license of the PRTG Network Monitor client with active maintenance?
Answer: This license will continue to be valid under the same terms and conditions as before until the maintenance period expires.
Question: What happens to a (perpetual) PRTG Network Monitor client license with expired maintenance? Will it continue to work?
Answer: Perpetual licenses will continue to work, but without maintenance. Please note the following disadvantages of unsubscribing:
- No security updates to protect your PRTG installation
- No access to the latest features and security enhancements for PRTG
- No access to our premium support from technical engineers.
Paessler is also pleased to announce the following new features coming this year:
Improved multi-platform probe: As it is an integral part of PRTG, Paessler is committed to significant improvements regarding the multi-platform probe. Their development team is actively working on expanding the capabilities of the probe. Don’t miss the enhanced monitoring capabilities in a variety of environments, including hybrid cloud environments, container/docker environments, Linux-based networks, and various distributed networks.
API improvements: To expand their API capabilities, Paessler introduced the new APIv2, which they are currently finalizing. Paessler is currently exploring ways to edit, delete, and configure sensors, groups, and probes effortlessly to help automate configurations and streamline monitoring setups. Subscription holders receive updates to stay one step ahead in automation and efficiency.
Log management with PRTG: In 2024, Paessler will introduce log management capabilities. This exciting feature allows you to integrate PRTG monitoring data with logs for better regulatory compliance, easier troubleshooting, and increased data integrity.
The latest update adds support for a new protocol called ARC (Authenticated Received Chain), which is designed to help mitigate SPF, DKIM and DMARC verification failures by allowing mail transfer agents to reuse and resign the original email authentication results as the email traverses through the network. See the Change Log for detailed information and download the installer from the Client Portal.
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based markup language used for standardized business reporting of a company’s financial performance. It provides a way to communicate and exchange business information between business systems. In certain cases, we may need to extract and share XBRL data in an HTML webpage to view in web browsers. In this article, we will learn how to convert XBRL to HTML using C#.
Visual Studio Code extension
Octopus Deploy for Visual Studio Code is a free extension that makes working with Octopus Configuration Language (OCL) files easier. Features include:
- Syntax highlighting
- Code snippets for steps and actions
- An integrated tree view to navigate nodes in the file
Buildkite integration
Octopus Deploy now integrates with Buildkite. Our new Buildkite plugins allow your build agents to create and deploy releases, push build information, and run runbooks as part of a pipeline.
The integration provided through our new Buildkite plugins represents our initial design and release. We plan to build additional plugins and eliminate the dependency on the Octopus CLI by providing integration through Bash scripts.
Config as Code for deployments
Configuration as Code (Config as Code) in Octopus delivers the full power of Git with a fully functional user interface. Our implementation of Config as Code means you can see your deployment process in your Git repo next to your application code and evolve them together.
When Config as Code is enabled for a project, you can continue to use the Octopus UI as you always have, or you can edit the text files in your favorite editor. Work wherever you’re the most productive.
