In professional settings (businesses or large organizations), reduced bandwidth has severe consequences. Disruptions lead to idleness on the part of employees and customers and a corresponding loss of sales. Administrators must promptly expose and eliminate bandwidth hogs.
In this instance, our bandwidth monitoring tool will help you to monitor bandwidth, detect and measure heavy bandwidth overloads, quickly recognize potential disruptions – and get down to the root of the problem.
The tool tells you for instance which user, service, or which device is using the most bandwidth. Automatic alerts are created that generate a service ticket and our helpdesk team can start work on resolving the problem, 24x7 if you have an advanced maintenance agreement. In many cases problems can be resolved before you know they even exist.
Some of the things our monitoring tools can monitor for you are :
Bandwidth monitoring is a method for measuring the actual bandwidth available on a local network system including cabled and Wireless (WiFi). Bandwidth monitoring tools display real-time date such as download and upload speeds and help prevent network strain. Private individuals and professionals alike use bandwidth monitoring to check for available bandwidth.
"Who is hogging my bandwidth?" - maybe you hear that frustrating question over and over again from your users. They are complaining about a slow network and you need to identify the root of the problem. The monitoring tools helps you determine how much bandwidth your devices and applications are using. Depending on your network and hardware, you can use different protocols like SNMP, flow or packet sniffing.
Database availability and database performance are vital elements to your business's operations. Our monitoring tool queries data from your database without lengthy query, connection, or return times. The execution time of the entire database request is displayed on your dashboard at all times.
You can analyse and monitor specific datasets in your databases by combining your database monitor with customizable reports which you can have sent to your managers automatically. All reporting features are included.
Thanks to the dashboard, you can see an overview of all your databases - and more if you so choose. With our tools, you can monitor your entire network. This is good because if your databases are not working properly, the problem may ultimately lie elsewhere.
Application management (also known as application performance monitoring or apm) ensures that all applications (standard software or web applications) perform as expected. This technique evaluates the performance of the applications and checks if everything is running smoothly.
The Application Manager helps you to keep control over all your applications. You gain a concise overview on individual dashboards as well as detailed statistics about every application running in your network. If desired, you get a prompt alert whenever when the application manager discovers a defined status (e.g. application doesn't respond or the web-server is offline). This allows you to react quickly before problems become severe.
Every company has business-critical applications. When these crash, the firm has a real problem and sales are in danger. PRTG starts with the web server, then checks the Exchange Server, database applications, and all cloud or virtual environment applications. Our application monitoring software monitors all these processes centrally and automatically.
Everything seems to be alright – your applications are up and running with no sign of errors. Yet downtime can occur quickly if problems are not discovered immediately. PRTG not only comes with an application monitoring service, it also monitors bandwidth, traffic, data packets, and many other network elements and metrics.
How many resources are used by your applications? Are resources blocked, or are they used optimally? Our Application Monitoring Tool keeps track of all your applications, as well as their use of resources. The software signals alarms promptly, so you can act before capacity-related problems arise.
Servers are the backbone of the network. To minimize downtime and to ensure peak performance of the system, constant monitoring of your server infrastructure is vital.
By tracking the uptime, health, disk space and performance of your servers, you can prevent outages and identify bandwidth hogs.
Server monitoring lets you monitor your servers in real time with regard to availability, accessibility, capacity, and overall reliability. With server monitoring, your servers are checked at regular intervals to ensure you always know their status.
Sysadmins monitor their servers because they wish to improve the stability and performance of their networks. If certain threshold values are exceeded, you’ll receive a warning message so you can take action at once. Our monitoring service helps you complete your everyday tasks. It provides you with a constant overview of your server resources.
Sysadmins analyse the values they receive from their monitoring software to develop courses of action. When studied over the long term, these values can help optimize various aspects that are responsible for the performance of your network, such as capacity planning. The PRTG reports feature is extremely useful for such optimization.
If your system expands and you add more servers, our monitoring system will adjust dynamically to the size of the server farm. The Server Manager is an integrated solution: whether processors, memory, cooling fans, power supplies, or other components, our Server Monitoring Tool simultaneously monitors your servers as well as your entire infrastructure. The system immediately recognizes if a router or switch fails and causes a disruption in the server. Even virtual servers are recognized automatically and included in the monitoring.
Servers are the main elements of every IT infrastructure. Without them, a company is more or less unable to function. The monitoring system ensures system failures are as short-lived as possible – or even prevented in advance. The email alert feature also generates a service ticket in our ticketing system and it is assigned to an engineer to check and hopefully rectify.
Capacity planning
The Server Monitor helps out with capacity planning by recognising when in the medium to long-term it will be necessary to increase your capacities. The dashboard presents compelling charts which will advise when you need to expand your resources. The tool also features detailed reports providing a basis for scheduling and continual process optimization.
