How to: Free network monitoring with PRTG

The Nuremberg-based company Paessler AG’s PRTG is a professional solution for monitoring complete IT environments. From hardware and virtualized environments to data traffic and applications, PRTG monitors availability and performance. The price of the solution is based on the number of ‘sensors’ used – that’s what Paessler calls the individual measuring points. Every license, even the Freeware Edition, offers the complete range of functions.

Paessler offers 100 sensors in the Freeware Edition.

Implemented as a comprehensive monitoring solution, this 100-sensor edition is sufficient for a small company network or large home network. However, it can also be an interesting option for monitoring critical points in a larger network.
