PRTG’s Memory Monitoring Solution – RAM is now under control!
- PRTG checks memory status
- Monitor Windows, Linux, and Unix systems
- PRTG notifies in case of reduction in the amount of RAM
Why do I need RAM monitoring?
RAM monitoring constantly monitors the memory status of all your systems and thus helps to find applications that consume a lot of memory and high-load servers.
Early Troubleshooting with PRTG
Sometimes even simple applications consume a significant amount of memory and affect the overall performance of the server. PRTG automatically monitors the memory status of devices on the network, notifies about errors in advance, before the performance of the entire system drops.
The PRTG memory controller detects early-stage problems that can prevent processes from running. PRTG Memory Monitoring notifies you if the RAM usage of one or more servers increases. This will allow you to take the necessary steps to maintain performance and prevent data loss and system downtime.
PRTG provides ready-made sensors for memory status analysis
WMI MEMORY SENSOR
The WMI Memory sensor tracks the available (free) amount of memory in Windows systems through WMI.
The amount of memory is displayed as a percentage and bytes.
SNMP MEMORY SENSOR
The SNMP Memory sensor monitors the state of memory over SNMP.
The state of memory is represented by the following indicators:
– Available memory in bytes
– Available memory percentage
– Total memory.
SNMP IBM SYSTEM X PHYSICAL MEMORY SENSOR
The IBM System X Physical Memory sensor SNMP monitors the health of ibm server memory modules via SNMP.
The state of memory is represented by the following indicators:
– Memory controller status
– Power status (on or off).
SNMP HPE PROLIANT MEMORY CONTROLLER SENSOR
The HPE ProLiant Memory Controller sensor SNMP monitors the status of the HPE Server Memory Controller via SNMP.
The state of the memory controller is represented by the following indicators:
– Controller error status
– Controller status
– Status of available modules.
SNMP LINUX MEMINFO SENSOR
SNMP Linux Meminfo sensor monitors memory usage for Linux/Unix systems via SNMP protocol.
The state of memory is represented by the following indicators:
– Available memory in absolute values and percentages
– Physical memory used (free memory plus buffer plus cache)
in percentage
– Free physical memory (free memory plus buffer plus cache)
in bytes
– Swap memory used as a percentage
– Free swap memory in bytes
– Shared memory used throughout the system (physical memory plus swap)
in percentage
– Free shared memory throughout the system (physical memory plus swap)
in bytes.
SSH MEMINFO SENSOR
SSH Meminfo sensor monitors via SSH memory usage for Linux/Unix systems.
The data are represented by indicators:
– Available memory in bytes
– Available memory percentage.
CUSTOM MEMORY SENSOR
Create your own memory sensor for your tasks. Configure PRTG to work effectively with your system.
Benefits of RAM Monitoring
- Avoid memory performance degradation
- Identify applications that consume too much RAM
- Prevent memory overload, react in time to emergency situations
How does the PRTG memory monitoring solution work?
Through SNMP and WMI protocols, PRTG monitors the memory status of servers and devices running Windows. In addition to Windows systems, PRTG monitors the memory status of Linux systems. To do this, use the SNMP daemon or ready-made sensors for Linux.
Administrators can set thresholds and set up alerts that will be sent to them in the event of an increase in memory usage on one or more devices.
