Greg Ross, Senior Systems Engineer at Paessler, goes over the architectural underpinning of PRTG. This includes a built in web server and NoSQL database, and is setup for monitoring within minutes. For distributed networks, PRTG allows for deploying remote probe polling agents. These polling agents tap into various protocols as needed for devices and applications across the infrastructure. PRTG uses the idea of sensors to monitor infrastructure, which are disparate metrics that when pooled for 20-40 sensors, give a full picture of the state.

Greg Ross, Senior Systems Engineer at Paessler, gives a demonstration of PRTG monitoring devices in production. He shows how PRTG can be deployed across a wide range of use cases, using their idea of sensors as metrics unique to a device. He reviews how PRTG can be setup for specialized notifications in certain monitoring situations. In VMware environments, this can be drilled down into the vCenter level, and help with provisioning, performance, and reliability.

Greg Ross, Senior Systems Engineer at Paessler, reviews how PRTG can be used to monitor uncommon devices that might not be considered part of infrastructure, but are just as critical. These include everything from dishwaters at a hospital to slot machines at a casino. PRTG is able to do this because of the customizable nature of the sensors. These can capture MIBs from anything writing in SNMP, which can be customized to fit an organizations needs.
