Hardware monitoring begins with a simple PING test: PRTG monitors the operation of the equipment and performs checks to make sure that all servers and computers are in working condition.
If the PING fails, either the device is disconnected, or the problem is a cable that is damaged or not connected, or there is a problem with your Internet connection.
PRTG issues an alert after the PING test fails, so you can fix the network and hardware issue in place.
Of course, PRTG monitors the status and properties of your equipment and, in addition, gives an overview of the system for each device.
CPU AND RAM MONITORING
PRTG immediately monitors CPU and memory sizes. The monitoring tool warns you in advance if there are any problems with load, temperature or other malfunctions.
HARD DRIVE MONITORING
PRTG issues an alert if the amount of free disk space becomes too low, logs changes in the data and can even determine the availability of a particular file. This makes it possible to avoid data loss. And hard drives can be quickly replaced or refilled.
PRINTER MONITORING
Our equipment monitoring tools also monitor the operation of network printers. Not only can you get information about printer availability, but you can also get information about the level of ink in cartridges, the number of pages printed, and messages about specific errors.
ROUTER AND SWITCH MONITORING
PRTG monitors network equipment (routers, switches) and other points of interest to administrators (e.g., network traffic, software, and websites). You can find out which devices, programs, or users are emitting most of the traffic on your network, or where there is insufficient network bandwidth.
OTHER TYPES OF EQUIPMENT AND DEVICES
PRTG can monitor the operation of any other computer and device that supports SNMP.
For such monitoring, we have our API and individual monitoring settings. In addition, PRTG monitors environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity in the data center.
WORKFLOWS ARE MORE STABLE DUE TO EQUIPMENT MONITORING
It seems that equipment always fails at the exact moment when it is most needed. At the most important moments, such as right before the deadline for the end of work, the loss of productivity can be very costly and lead to the imposition of penalties on contractual terms. Data is playing an increasingly important role in business. And in the case of data loss, this is especially obvious.
PRTG HELPS YOU TAKE ACTION BEFORE PROBLEMS ARISE
PRTG warns administrators when a system is at risk: before the memory is overloaded, the printer runs out of ink, and before a possible router failure occurs. However, IT professionals do not need to spend too much time and attention on monitoring the condition of the equipment. Hard drives should not fail, printers should be ready, and all devices should work reliably. PRTG takes care of all this. Running reliably in the background, our hardware monitoring software makes life easier for administrators.
With PRTG, disruptions and losses can be avoided.
WITH PRTG, EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE CAN WORK QUIETLY
IT professionals have to solve a lot of problems in a fairly limited time and do it in an IT environment, the complexity of which is constantly increasing. PRTG automates routine tasks. After all, there is so much work. Monitoring equipment should not complicate everything.
