NETWORK MANAGEMENT
A PRESENTATION ON PRTG MONITORING SOFTWARE USED IN MANAGING A NETWORK

This App conforms to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) developed model called
“FCAPS’’ to create a definition for network management. “FCAPS” stands for Fault Management,
Configuration Management, Accounting Management, Performance Management, and Security
Management.

def: PRTG Network Monitor (Paessler Router Traffic Grapher)


It is an agentless network monitoring software from Paessler AG. It can monitor and classify system
conditions like bandwidth usage or uptime and collect statistics from miscellaneous hosts as
switches, routers, servers and other devices and applications.
• Developer(s): Paessler AG
• Initial release date: May 29, 2003
• Available in: English Language, German language, MORE

Maps and dashboards
Visualize your network using real-time maps with live status information. Create dashboards with the
PRTG map designer, and integrate all your network components using more than 300 different map
objects such as device and status icons, traffic charts, top lists, and more.
Individualize your map using custom HTML. Once you’re done, share your map as a URL that is
accessible either publicly or only internally on your LAN.

Flexible alerting (alarm)


PRTG alerts you when it discovers problems or unusual metrics
PRTG comes with many built-in mechanisms for notifications, such as email, push, or HTTP requests.
With our free apps for Android and iOS, you can get push notifications delivered directly to your phone.
Adapt the notification system to suit your needs and schedule alerts (such as ‘no low priority alerts atnight’),
or avoid alarm floods by using dependencies.
You can even use our PRTG API to write your own notifications.

Cluster failover solution

It is always better to be safe than sorry. PRTG Network Monitor allows failover tolerant monitoring.
Automatic failover handling: if the primary master of the cluster is not connected or is down, another node
immediately takes over all its responsibilities, including the sending of notifications.
Take advantage of multiple points of presence monitoring: all nodes monitor all sensors all the time, so you
can compare response times from different locations in the network (LAN/WAN/VPN).
The hosted version of PRTG also comes with high-availability monitoring.

Distributed monitoring
Monitor several networks in different locations and separated networks within your company (for example,
DMZ and LAN) with PRTG Remote Probes.
• Use remote probes to monitor your LAN with the hosted version of PRTG.
• Get the overview in one central PRTG core installation.
• You can also use remote probes to distribute monitoring load.
• Each PRTG license includes unlimited remote probes.
• As MSP you can monitor your customer's networks and increase the quality of service.
A probe is a program or other device inserted at a key juncture in a network for the purpose of monitoring
or collecting data about network activity

Bandwidth monitoring
This is a method for measuring the actual bandwidth available on a local system (LAN or WiFi). Bandwidth
monitoring tools display real-time data such as download and upload speeds and help prevent network
strain. Private individuals and professionals alike use bandwidth monitoring to check for available
bandwidth.

Database monitoring
Practically every business operation at any modern company is based on information that is stored and managed
in SQL (Structured Query Language) databases. For a business to be successful, these databases must always be up and
running so if the Database crashes which can be caused by hardware errors, faulty configurations, or too little disk
space or memory. Corrupted databases with defective files can also lead to problems. PRTG allows administrators to ensure
their databases are constantly available and performing in an optimal manner.

SNMP sensor monitoring


SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and consists of three key components: managed devices, agents,
and network-management systems (NMSs). The protocol is a set of standards for communication with devices in a TCP/IP
network. It lets you keep an eye on network and bandwidth usage, and track important issues such as uptime and traffic
levels.
