Hardware monitoring is the continuous tracking of your network’s hardware performance metrics, environmental conditions, hardware health, and resource utilization. It provides an overview of all hardware systems in order to help pinpoint issues, bottlenecks, and potential failures.
Hardware monitoring is crucial because it helps maintain the health and performance of physical devices that are vital to an organization's IT operations. By continuously tracking parameters such as CPU usage, memory capacity, disk space, and network device performance, hardware monitoring can preemptively identify potential issues before they escalate into serious problems.
This proactive approach minimizes downtime, ensures optimal performance, and can significantly reduce the costs associated with hardware failures and maintenance. Additionally, it aids in resource planning and helps maintain a secure and efficient IT environment.
PRTG can monitor a wide range of hardware in your network, including printers, routers, switches, workstations, hard drives, processors, motherboards, servers, server racks, and more – even NAS systems and SANs.
PRTG is vendor-agnostic monitoring software. This means that it can monitor hardware from every manufacturer if the according device supports SNMP or any other standard protocol. For the most common manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo, HPE, Cisco,…), PRTG comes with preconfigured sensor templates out of the box.
Yes, PRTG provides alerts before and when hardware errors occur, such as memory overloads, printers running out of ink, or router failures, allowing for proactive intervention and quick troubleshooting.
Yes, it can. Paessler PRTG is an all-in-one network monitoring tool that runs on Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems (needs the multi-platform probe) or as a cloud-based SaaS solution. It can monitor hardware, applications, services, processes, network traffic and bandwidth, virtual environments (for example VMware or Citrix), and much more. PRTG’s licensing is easily scalable and offers fair pricing options.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
