Features

  • Easy HTTP verbs: get, post, put, delete, etc.
  • Cookie persistence and session management
  • Automatic content decoding and compression handling
  • Support for TLS/SSL verification and proxies
  • Authentication mechanisms (basic and digest)

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
