CPU errors, memory overloads, faulty network cards...it seems like something is always going wrong with server hardware. In reality, this is normal wear and tear, particularly if your IT infrastructure grows and incorporates more and more network devices that are not always produced by the same manufacturer. PRTG has got you covered – our server monitoring solution comes with preconfigured sensors for the most popular server hardware manufacturers.
Even brief traffic spikes can generate peak loads in your IT infrastructure, which can cause any part of the network to go down. Most of the time, it’s your switches, routers, or servers that take the hit. Thanks to our customizable dashboards and easy-to-read graphs, you can see at one glance where a bottleneck is about to occur and take immediate action to troubleshoot the issue – before something more critical happens.
Many companies use both physical and virtual servers. However, it’s not enough to only monitor your physical servers – you should also constantly monitor the health and performance of your virtual servers in addition to the host hardware that runs your virtual machines. PRTG comes with various preconfigured sensors from different vendors for monitoring your virtual environment, for example, VMware, Citrix, or Microsoft Hyper-V.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The SNMP HPE ProLiant Physical Disk sensor monitors a physical disk in an HPE ProLiant server. It can show the following:
The SNMP IBM System X Physical Memory sensor monitors the memory modules in an IBM server. It can show the following:
The SNMP Cisco UCS Physical Disk sensor monitors a physical disk of a Cisco Unified Computing System device. It can show the following:
The Hyper-V Host Server sensor monitors a Microsoft Hyper-V host server via WMI or Windows performance counters. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.

These days, system administrators are spoiled for choice. The market is literally overflowing with monitoring tools and each of these tools has its pros and cons. We’ve compared some of them with PRTG.
Nagios is open-source software for network monitoring. Many of our customers used Nagios before switching to PRTG because it is free of charge.
Compared to PRTG, however, it is much more difficult to configure. PRTG also beats Nagios when it comes to the visual presentation of data. For a more detailed comparison, see: Nagios vs. PRTG.
Like PRTG Network Monitor, SolarWinds NPM is proprietary network monitoring software that also monitors server hardware.
While one license of PRTG includes all monitoring features, however, you need different products from SolarWinds to monitor, for example, network traffic or application performance. For a more detailed comparison, see: SolarWinds vs. PRTG.
Zabbix is another free, open-source network monitoring tool that offers more visualization options than Nagios.
If you think about choosing between Zabbix and PRTG, always keep in mind the time that you'll need for extensive configuration work, which you won't need with our easy-to-use monitoring software PRTG. For a more detailed comparison, see: Zabbix vs. PRTG.

PRTG can monitor various types of servers including web servers, SQL servers, file servers, mail servers, and virtual servers across different platforms such as Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Yes, PRTG can monitor servers hosted on cloud platforms such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. This includes virtual machines, cloud storage, and other cloud services.
PRTG can help predict server failures by monitoring trends and performance metrics like CPU load, memory usage, and disk space. If these metrics show unusual patterns, it could indicate a potential issue, allowing administrators to intervene before an actual failure occurs.
With our free network monitoring tool, you get:
With the freeware edition of PRTG, you can get started with network monitoring in a matter of minutes. Our auto-discovery function detects all network devices within a given IP address range and automatically incorporates them into your monitoring environment.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
