Paessler BlogTransition to the Script v2 sensor - your guide to advanced monitoringThe Script v2 sensor represents a step forward in monitoring flexibility and efficiency. As the successor to the Python Script Advanced sensor, it is designed to provide enhanced functionality, better integration, and a seamless experience for your custom monitoring needs.Let's find out what makes the Script v2 sensor a valuable addition to your Paessler PRTG monitoring installation, along with important details about transitioning from the Python Script Advanced sensor, which will be deprecated soon. Passive monitoring vs. active monitoringHey sysadmins. In this article I'll look at two different approaches to network and system monitoring. We will examine active monitoring vs. passive monitoring, the differences between the two approaches, and why one cannot do without the other. How to monitor the Synology DSM version using Paessler PRTGIn my previous two blog articles, I focused on Synology and monitoring key metrics such as overall system health, disk status, temperature, fan status, CPU, and memory. I also explained how to monitor disk usage in both gigabytes and percentage. Today, I'll show you how to monitor the operating system version of Synology. Let’s start with some basics. Unlocking the secrets of network load balancer metrics: A guide for sysadmins who’ve seen a few logs in their dayHello, fellow sysadmins! Whether you’re sipping your seventh coffee or recovering from the latest “urgent” Slack ping, let’s talk about something near and dear to our uptime-loving hearts: network load balancer metrics. Specifically, the ones that save our bacon when the network decides it’s that time of day. Monitoring databases is vital – and with PRTG it's easyAs an experienced sysadmin, you know that your databases are one of the most important pillars of your IT infrastructure. Whether it’s financial and employee data in the ERP system or sensitive customer information in your CRM, virtually all structured data is stored in databases. If your database fails or gets breached, you could face major financial hits, disrupted operations, a tarnished reputation, and even legal troubles. In other words, your database directly impacts the performance and efficiency of your systems and applications. You should be using database monitoring tools to track key metrics and address potential performance problems before they escalate. Sensor limit reached? Easily upgrade your PRTG license!It's easy to underestimate how many sensors you'll need over time, especially if your network or application traffic grows unexpectedly. And, because we never want your networking monitoring to slow down when you reach your sensor limit, we make it easy to immediately upgrade your PRTG license via the Paessler Portal. MTTD and MTTR: Key Metrics for Effective Incident Response Picture this: It's 3 AM, and your phone buzzes with yet another alert. As you groggily reach for your device, you wonder if this is another false alarm or a critical system failure that needs immediate attention. Sound familiar? For many system administrators, this scenario plays out far too often, leading to that dreaded phenomenon we all know as alert fatigue. Understanding SNMP polling: A practical guide for sysadminsHello fellow sysadmins! Let's dive into the wonderful (and occasionally hair-raising) world of SNMP polling. If you've been in the field for a few years, you've probably wrestled with SNMP at some point. Whether it was configuring a Cisco router or troubleshooting a community string mismatch, SNMP can be both a lifesaver and a headache. But love it or hate it, it's essential to keeping our networks up and running. So let's break it down in a way that speaks to you as someone who's been in the trenches. Introducing PRTG Data Hub: advanced log management for your IT infrastructureWe’re excited to announce the release of Paessler PRTG Data Hub, a product extension for Paessler PRTG that improves your log management and analysis. As IT environments produce more and more log data, it’s a crucial task to manage them effectively and keep everything secure, compliant and running smoothly. PRTG Data Hub solves some of the biggest challenges in IT operations, helping you handle logs more cost-effective, efficiently, stay compliant, and filter your data. Let's take a look at how you can improve your log management processes. Paessler PRTG 24.4.102 is now available in the stable release channel!The last PRTG release for 2024 is now available in the stable channel! This release includes the new SNMP Disk Free v2 and WMI Microsoft SQL Server 2022 sensors. It also introduces the experimental SNMP UPS Status, SSH Meminfo v2, SSH Load Average v2, and SSH Remote Ping v2 sensors, along with updates to the German and Spanish language files. Network capacity planning for optimal network performanceEffective network capacity planning is vital for sysadmins aiming to optimize network performance and manage bandwidth efficiently. By forecasting potential bottlenecks and monitoring network traffic, you can ensure smooth operation and minimize latency, enhancing overall network management. SNMP v2 vs v3: Understanding SNMP's Evolution in Network ManagementThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is essential for managing and monitoring network devices. As network environments change, understanding the differences between SNMP v2 and SNMP v3 becomes important. SNMP v2 offers improvements over SNMP v1, such as 32-bit counters and better error handling. However, SNMP v2c still uses community strings for authentication, transmitting data in plain text, which poses security risks. On the other hand, SNMP v3 introduces a robust security model, offering authentication and encryption, which helps prevent unauthorized access to your network infrastructure. Centroflora Group monitors its factory floor & power supply with Paessler PRTGAn organization fully aligned with the ESG model, Centroflora industrializes nature to deliver valuable supplies to pharmaceutical giants. Until recently, the high degree of automation was based on PLC networks distributed across three different production segments: evaporation, drying, and supply extraction. The company was looking for a way to gain a holistic view of those three environments to support the ongoing evolution of best practices for maintenance and facilities management. 3 Ways to make monitoring a part of your BYOD management strategyEven before 2020, the concept of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) was already widespread. But once the pandemic set off the remote work trend, BYOD policies became even more widely implemented. While BYOD has certainly allowed for more flexibility, it brings with it a whole new set of challenges. Among these are increased security risks and bandwidth usage. These challenges make it paramount that companies have comprehensive BYOD management strategies in place. And no BYOD strategy is complete without infrastructure monitoring. We’ll soon take a look at 3 ways monitoring can support your BYOD policy, but first, let’s understand the challenges BYOD brings with it. Monitoring disk usage on Synology NAS with PRTGIn my recent blog article, I talked about using native PRTG sensors to monitor the status of logical and physical disks on a Synology NAS. If you missed it, you can read it here, 'Key metrics to monitor a Synology NAS with Paessler PRTG'. These sensors only monitor the disk status, not the actual disk usage. |
