New PRTG release 21.3.70 with new Azure, HPE, and Redfish sensors
Just a short while ago, I introduced you to PRTG Release 21.3.69, with a load of new sensors, and now the next version is ready for installation. And this version also comes with brand new stuff!
Several options to monitor your backup with PRTG
As an IT admin, you know what it feels like to live with the constant fear of data loss. You think that you have a reliable backup solution in place, so making regular backups should be working fine – just to realize that an important backup failed, and a lot of even more important data has been lost, be it your own company data or your customer’s data.
Get alerted on data center outages with Microsoft Teams
With more than 145 million daily active users (as of Q2 2021), Microsoft Teams is one of the leaders in UCaaS and meeting solutions. You can get it for free (for work, school, or friends and family) or as part of Microsoft 365 (for work, school, or government). We at Paessler also use it for internal and external communication with our partners. By combining it with PRTG Network Monitor, you can get insights and stay notified about the health state of your network hosts distributed all around the world.
Visualizing your IT and OT environment with PRTG
Holistic monitoring for industrial IT is a topic that we have covered on this blog many times before. We even put together a white paper about it. Essentially, holistic monitoring incorporates elements from IT and OT into one tool. One of the greatest advantages of this approach is that you can develop dashboards that deliver an overview of your entire industrial IT infrastructure. To demonstrate this, I will be writing a series of blog posts examining specific examples of dashboards for industrial environments that were created with Paessler PRTG monitoring software.
The magic of building individual custom network maps with PRTG
Are there good and reliable tools out there that allow you to create professional network diagrams? Yes, there are! And some are even free of charge. In addition, the creation of vivid maps is a feature of PRTG that complements the overall network monitoring experience. We'd like to tell you about it, pointing out the important features of a solution that creates handy and useful overviews of your network.
Ensure that the right person or team gets the right notifications
Reliable notification of a malfunction or even a system failure in a data center is one of the most important tasks of a monitoring application. The notification should be configurable in different ways depending on the requirements. PRTG provides a number of notification options such as email, push, SMS, etc. This article, however, is not about the different notification options, but rather about how you can ensure that individual colleagues or teams in your IT department are provided with the correct and appropriate information.
Monitoring Industrial IT: defining and getting the data you need
Data is at the core of monitoring any environment. And in an industrial IT environment, this data exists in various devices, systems and sensors in the OT, IIoT and IT areas. And for a sound holistic monitoring concept, there are two aspects you need to consider: what data you need, and how you are going to get the data. Let's take a look at both of these points.
Prevent expired OPC UA certificates halting your production line
In recent times, OPC UA has become widely-adopted in industrial IT environments. In short, it provides a common communication standard that allows elements from various parts of the industrial infrastructure to communicate with one another. One of the most basic aspects of OPC UA are the OPC UA certificates, which provide a level of security between communicating components. But what happens when these certificates expire? And how can you monitor them so that you always know what their status is?
Find out how we made our office's EV charging spaces truly smart
Together with the company Smart City System, we have designed the following use case and implemented it directly at our company location in Nuremberg. It's about the exciting, future-relevant field of parking monitoring, something that, for many companies and for modern urban planning in general, brings a great deal of potential. The monitoring tool used was the latest solution from Paessler AG: 👉 Paessler Building Monitor
Free checklist to find the right network monitoring solution
You probably came across this article because you want to monitor a large IT or network infrastructure. If so, I am pretty sure you are faced with several challenges.
Traffic monitoring on HP Aruba switches with sFlow and PRTG
There are two ways of monitoring your network traffic. SNMP Traffic sensor will show you incoming, outgoing, and total amount of traffic, but if you want to identify the major sources of traffic and eliminate bottlenecks, you should be using our xFlow sensors. And this blog post will focus on one of those sensors: sFlow and monitoring traffic on HP Aruba switches. I will show you how to configure sFlow via CLI and add a native sFlow sensor.
Keep track of your UPS systems with PRTG
It comes unexpectedly, is annoying and almost every administrator has experienced it: a power outage. The reasons can be many and varied: an excavator cuts a critical electrical line, a distribution point is damaged, or a problem occurs in a power substation. In such cases, private households, data centers and also production facilities are affected. In the production sector in particular, dependence on information and communication technology systems has increased in recent years due to Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT).
New PRTG release 21.3.69 with new Veeam, AWS and Rittal sensors
This is a brand new PRTG version waiting for you. In release 21.3.69, you can expect the Veeam Backup Job Status Advanced Sensor, which goes from experimental state to normal operation. There are also three new sensors to play with: the AWS EC2 v2 sensor, the AWS ELB v2 sensor and the SNMP Rittal CMC III Hardware Status sensor. In addition, we've improved sensors in several places, and included the latest info on the July update in our PRTG public roadmap. Here we go!
How do YOU monitor resource consumption with PRTG?
The climate crisis puts us all at risk. Live more consciously, use fewer resources; that's the credo you hear over and over again. But hey, to put your mind at ease: done right, saving resources has almost as much to do with understanding your data than with making sacrifices. That's why we at Paessler have made it our purpose to contribute to reducing the consumption of resources together with you, our customers. As a monitoring company, it comes naturally to be data-driven. Our products offer great analysis of the current state of your environment to enable a more resource-efficient tomorrow. And although we monitor our own PV system, we are not part of the manufacturing industry, we don't water large agricultural areas, or cool down large data centers. This is where YOU come into play. In a customer survey, 37% of PRTG users stated they have already begun to implement new sustainable IT strategies into their business, and 22% will start doing so in the next year. In total 73% of the respondents agreed that PRTG is suitable for monitoring resource consumption.
5 Steps to retrofitting your industrial environment
Digitalization and automation of manufacturing processes in recent years have driven the convergence of IT and OT. One of the biggest advantages of this is new ways to aggregate data. New technologies and concepts like the IIoT and analytics, among other things, allow for the collection and analysis of more data than ever before. This in turn drives decision-making and other concepts like preventive and predictive maintenance. However, many machines and devices on the factory floor are too old to support these new data collection scenarios; they simply do not provide the right connectivity, data interfaces, or data points that are required.
