Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent bandwidth bottlenecks and other issues that impact the performance of your games.
Lag is the archenemy of gamers everywhere; it’s the boss-fight nobody wants. Every millisecond your packets take can determine if you carry the squad or if you drop the ball.
Whether you're battling for supremacy in Fortnite, strategizing in League of Legends, or pulling off precise headshots in Counter-Strike, lag can be the difference between victory and defeat.
Enter Paessler PRTG’s game monitoring, your ultimate ally in the quest for gaming perfection. Your next victory awaits – are you ready to level up your monitoring game?
Your data packets are messengers racing between the video game on your PC and the game server. Ping time measures how long this round trip takes.
For a smooth gaming experience, you're aiming for 20 milliseconds or less – that's faster than the blink of an eye! Once you hit 150ms or more, screens freeze, connections drop, and frustration mounts. PRTG is your tank man, clearing out the baddies for faster gaming.
Modern games are bandwidth and data-hungry monsters that can rival in-game bosses. With PRTG game monitoring sensors acting as your personal network watchdogs and companions, you can happily slay the bad guy while they monitor your connection’s speed, latency, and stability.
Is your roommate's Netflix binge sabotaging your Call of Duty session? PRTG unveils the truth, allowing you to optimize your network for gaming supremacy.
Battles are won and lost on single pieces of information – and packets are your mission-critical messengers. Packet loss occurs when data fails to reach its destination, leading to stuttering gameplay, out-of-sync actions, and that dreaded rubber-banding effect.
PRTG's advanced sensors can track packet loss in real time, helping you identify whether the issue lies with your local network, your internet service provider, or the game servers themselves.
Even the most stable internet connection can't compensate for underpowered hardware. PRTG's suite of WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) and SNMP sensors keeps a vigilant eye on your gaming rig's vital signs.

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.
