Paessler PRTG Network Monitor is a network and infrastructure monitoring software. It scans systems, devices, traffic, and applications to report on performance metrics. The tool provides real-time information concerning CPU utilization, Disk I/O rates, network bandwidth consumption, and more. Paessler's sensor-based architecture lets IT teams create custom dashboards that display data in an easy-to-read format while also offering alerts to notify of potential issues before they escalate into full-blown problems that affect system availability or end-user experience. With its many built-in sensors for different types of network equipment (such as routers or switches) as well as support for SNMP and WMI protocols out-of-the-box – it’s a versatile solution that adapts across diverse environments without requiring additional modules or plug-ins.
