PRTG Traffic Grapher is an easy to use Windows application for monitoring and classifying bandwidth usage.

PRTG Traffic Grapher provides system administrators with live readings and long-term usage trends for their network devices.

PRTG is mainly used for bandwidth usage monitoring, but may also be used to monitor many other aspects of a network such as memory and CPU utilization.

With PRTG Traffic Grapher the user receives comprehensive bandwidth and network usage data that helps to optimize the efficiency of the network.

Understanding bandwidth and resource consumption is the key to better network management: Avoid bandwidth and server performance bottlenecks; Find out what applications or what servers use up your bandwidth; Deliver better quality of service to your users by being proactive; Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware according to actual load.

The Freeware Edition of PRTG Traffic Grapher is completely free for personal and commercial use and may be downloaded for free. PRTG Traffic Grapher is designed to run on a Windows machine in your network for 24 hours every day, and constantly records the network usage parameters.

The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later reference. Using an easy to use Windows interface you can configure the monitored sensors as well as create usage reports. For remote access PRTG Traffic Grapher comes with a built-in web server to provide access to graphs and tables.

· Reliable network monitoring used by more than 100.000 users every day

· Supports data acquisition via SNMP, packet sniffing or Netflow protocol

· Classifies network traffic by IP address, protocol and other parameters

· Works with most switches, routers, firewalls, and other network devices

· Easy installation with a few clicks on Windows 2000/XP/2003

· Monitoring engine is capable of monitoring up to several thousand sensors

· A Freeware Edition is available for smaller networks and SOHOs

Supported Data Acquisition Methods

Depending on your infrastructure you can monitor the usage of your network using different methods supported by PRTG Traffic Grapher. You can choose between four common methods for (bandwidth) monitoring:

·SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol is the basic method of gathering bandwidth and network usage data. It can be used to monitor bandwidth usage of routers and switches port-by-port as well as device readings like memory, CPU load etc. Supports SNMP Version 1, 2c and 3.

·Packet Sniffing: The Packet Sniffer inspects all network data packets passing the PC's network card(s) and is able to classify network traffic by IP address, protocol and other parameters

·Netflow: The Netflow protocol is supported by most Cisco routers to measure bandwidth usage. Although being the most complex type to set up it is also the most powerful method suitable for high traffic networks and can also classify network traffic by IP address, protocol and other parameters.

·Latency: Monitoring performance of a data line or a device by measuring PING times

·Note: Only with packet sniffer and netflow based monitoring it is possible to measure the traffic by IP address, and/or protocol. SNMP based traffic measurement is port-based only.

Windows and Web Based User Interface

· Monitoring data can be accessed via a Windows GUI and a web based front end

· Intuitive Windows user interface for data retrieval and configuration

· Integrated web server for remote access (no external web server necessary)

· Results are shown in various graphs and tables

· Graphs are always generated on-the-fly for live reporting

Monitoring Database

PRTG Traffic Grapher is an easy to use Windows software for monitoring and classifying bandwidth usage. It provides system administrators with live readings and long-term usage trends for their network devices. The most common usage is bandwidth usage monitoring, but you can also monitor many other aspects of your network like memory and CPU utilizations.

* Reliable network monitoring used by more than 80.000 users every day

* Supports data acquisition via SNMP, packet sniffing or Netflow protocol

* Classifies network traffic by IP address, protocol and other parameters

* Works with most switches, routers, firewalls, and other network devices

* Easy installation with a few clicks on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003

* Monitoring engine is capable of monitoring up to several thousand sensors

What's New:

The new software has been completely rewritten from the ground up. We have taken our experiences from more than 10 years of creating network monitoring software and the feedback from more than 100,000 users worldwide to create a completely new architecture which is able to provide bandwidth and usage monitoring, as well as uptime monitoring and alerting for all sizes of networks - small to large.

Besides the new architecture, the biggest change is that PRTG7 now adds almost the full functionality of IPCheck5 to the features of PRTG6.

Please have a look at the following list for a detailed comparison:

Most Noticable Changes Between Version 6 and 7 of PRTG

* PRTG7's new user interface is completely web based and is used for configuration and data review

* PRTG6 had a Windows GUI for configuration and data review plus a read-only web interface for review only

* PRTG7 offers more than 30 new sensortypes for monitoring of many different protocols and services (e.g. HTTP, WMI, FTP, SMTP, RDP, etc)

* PRTG6 could only monitor via SNMP, PING, Netflow and Packet Sniffing

* PRTG7's new monitoring engine and internal architecture is much faster and more powerful and is now able to support several 10,000 sensors for one installation

* For PRTG6 we recommended not to monitor more than 2,000 sensors per installation

* PRTG7 adds uptime and availability monitoring to PRTG6's bandwidth and network usage monitoring

* PRTG6 offered bandwidth and usage monitoring only

* PRTG7's new automatic network discovery finds devices, analyzes the device type and creates the appropiate set of sensors for the device. And it can be re-run to discover devices added to the network later.

* PRTG's auto discovery could only be run interactively and could only find SNMP devices.

* PRTG7's new packet sniffer can optionally look into the network packets' payload data to find out what kind of data they contain (e.g. HTTP, Mail protocols, NETBIOS, etc.)

* PRTG6's packet sniffer simply looked at the from-port and to-port numbers to categorize the traffic

* PRTG7 uses a "single-core/multiple-probe" architecture: One central monitoring system can gather monitoring data from various points inside and outside of your network using "probes"

* PRTG6 could only monitor devices and traffic inside the LAN from the location where it was installed

* PRTG7 can send notifications via Email, SMS, HTTP, Windows System Log, Network Broadcast, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO and AIM

* PRTG6 could only send notifications as an email, a HTTP request or run an EXE file.

* PRTG7 offers dependencies (pauses monitoring of some sensors while another sensor is down, i.e. to avoid unnecessary notifications)

* PRTG6 did not offer this feature at all

* PRTG7 works with "NetFlow Sensors" (one or more for each device). All commercial licenses include 2 NetFlow Sensors for free, more sensors can be licensed). An unlimited number of sensors can share one "NetFlow Collector Port" to create different views of one NetFlow device.

* PRTG6 worked with "NetFlow Collectors" (one for each device, had to be purchased separately).

* PRTG7 Freeware offers up to 10 sensors with a minimum interval of 1 minute

* PRTG6 Freeware offered up to 3 sensors with a minimum interval of 1 second

* PRTG7 offers a new feature called "Maps" that can be used to create web pages with current monitoring results and custom layout

* PRTG6 offered "Custom Graphs" which were too complicated for most users and offered limited functionality compared to "Maps"

* PRTG7 has a built-in mail server that delivers emails to the recipient using "MX records" (using an SMTP relay is optional)

* PRTG6 always required the use of an SMTP relay server

PRTG6 Functionality Not Included in PRTG7

The following features from PRTG6 are not included in PRTG7 yet and will be added with version 7.1 later this year:

* PRTG 7 does not offer "Toplists"

* PRTG 7 does not offer custom colors for the graphs yet

* PRTG 7 does not calculate "Percentiles" in reports

* PRTG 7 does not include an "Aggregation Sensor"

* PRTG 7 is not available in other languages than English (more language will be available soon)

The following features have been dropped and will likely not be re-implemented soon (please continue to use PRTG 6 for these functions):

* PRTG 7 does not offer a bandwidth-based billing system

* PRTG 7 does not create reports in Excel format (HTML and PDF only)

* PRTG 7 does not offer PRTG6's "Limit Lines" feature of PRTG 6 (planned for a later version)

* PRTG 7 does not offer the WLAN-specific Packet Sniffing features of PRTG6

PRTG - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher

PRTG Traffic Grapher is an easy to use Windows based software that monitors bandwidth usage and other network parameters via SNMP.

PRTG Traffic Grapher monitors network and bandwidth usage as well as various other network parameters like memory and CPU usages, providing system administrators with live readings and periodical usage trends to optimize the efficiency, layout and setup of leased lines, routers, firewalls, servers and other Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enabled network components.

PRTG Traffic Grapher runs on a Windows machine in your network for 24 hours every day and constantly records the network usage parameters. The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later reference.

Viewing the monitoring statistics and configuration is done using the Windows GUI. For remote access to the monitoring results PRTG Traffic Grapher comes with a Web Interface and a built in web server to provide access to graphs and tables using a web browser.

The application works with most network devices that support SNMP. It was tested with various routers and switches from companies like Cisco, HP, 3Com, Linksys, DLink, as well as with various other SNMP enabled devices (e.g. computers running Windows or network printers).

PRTG Traffic Grapher runs on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003. For easy monitoring of system parameters on machines running Windows 2000/XP/2003 the software “Paessler SNMP Helper” is included for free.

PRTG Traffic Grapher is available in both a Freeware Edition (limited to monitoring one network device and suitable for home users and SOHOs) and several Commercial Editions offering monitoring for multiple network devices and advanced features suitable for corporate use.

Configuring PRTG Traffic Grapher - Networking Tutorial

PRTG Traffic Grapher is currently one of the best freeware options available. The same download is both the freeware version and a full-featured, timelimited trial version. PRTG is the only offering that supports data collection via sniffing, SNMP, and NetFlow.The graphs PRTG produces are very functional and a Web interface is provided that enables you to drill down into the data without having to be on the PRTG server or having to have any software installed.This means that if you want to collect data via sniffing, you don't have to worry about providing remote access to the PRTG server; you can access the reports via any Web browser. Follow these steps to get PRTG up and running.

1. Download the setup file from www.paessler.com/download/prtg and run it.
2. Click Yes to confirm that you wish to install the freeware/trial version.
3. Click Next.
4. Select the accept the agreement radio button to accept the license terms, and then click Next.
5. Select the installation directory, and then click Next.
6. On the Select Components screen you can select the defaults and then click Next.
7. Choose if you wish for the Web interface to be enabled or not. If you do want the Web interface enabled, you can leave it at the defaults.The PRTG Watchdog service is a process that will monitor and restart the PRTG process if it terminates unexpectedly.You should leave this option enabled unless you have a specific reason not to. When satisfied with your selection, click Next.
8. Click Finish to complete the installation and start PRTG. When you first run PRTG it will present you with a window where you can choose which version to install.The freeware edition (limited to three sensors), a trial edition (which will work for 30 days), or you can purchase the commercial edition. You also have the option of comparing the various versions. In this example we're looking at the freeware edition, so select the corresponding radio button (which should be the freeware version by default), click Next, and then Finish.
9. During the next step you will see an empty window, with a button in the center that says Click here to add your first sensor! Click this button.
10. Click Next
11. Choose which data collection method you wish to use. In this context a sensor can be any of several data collection devices, including a router supporting NetFlow, a PC sniffing traffic, or any device that will support SNMP (including Windows systems). For this example using a PC that will sniff the network traffic. If your network infrastructure devices don't support SNMP data collection or NetFlow data, this may be your only option anyway.A final option is to make this installation a latency monitoring system. In this mode, the system will use pings to monitor the round trip time between this host and various other hosts on the network. After making your selection, click Next.
12. On the next screen, enter the name of the sensor or leave the default value.
13. Place a check next to the interface you wish to use and click Next.
14. On the next screen you have the option of excluding certain traffic. I would suggest leaving the default of Monitor all traffic.The filters can be edited later if desired. Click Next.
15. On the next screen you have the option of choosing what protocols to monitor (called channels).You can also define your own by clicking Edit Port Filter Library. For now, just click Select All and then Next.We will demonstrate creating your own "channel" shortly.
16. On the next screen you can choose a grouping for you to add sensors under (with a limit of three sensors this grouping probably isn't that critical, but if you had hundreds of devices it would be very useful).You can also select the scanning interval. Unless you have reason to do otherwise, simply leave the defaults in place and click Finish.

The main PRTG Traffic Grapher console.There are three panes.The leftmost is called Views and enables you to select between different layouts and to display different data.The middle one, Sensors, enables you to select different sensors to see their data.The rightmost pane is View: <description>, and will change depending on what you select in the Views pane on the far left. While the same installation file is used for Windows XP and Windows 2000, once installed, the interfaces have slight differences.The differences are very minor and these instructions should work for either version.

If you double-click on a given graph you will get an enlarged view that you can also use to edit the graph colors, units, and several other options. By default, the Web interface will be available on the IP of the machine you installed PRTG on, using port 8080. In this case you can open a browser to http://192.168.1.104:8080.

You should now be collecting data, which should be visible in the graphs. You might wish to customize a few features though. If you wish to disable, or modify the Web interface (and many other settings) navigate to Extras | Options. In the left pane, select Web Server. Uncheck Enable Internal Webserver if you wish to disable the Web interface completely. If you plan on leaving the Web server enabled, you should place a check next to Write webserver access logfile.You should also change the Website Access Control to Limited Access. Because the sensor data and reports could contain confidential information, the default of unlimited access to the Web interface is not secure.

After configuring the Web Server options, select Web Server | Users in the left pane.The default configuration will be to permit the PRTG administrator only. Note that this is not the local machine's administrator account; this account is specific to PRTG.This might be all you need, but if you need to permit additional accounts click Add and enter the account information followed by OK.

If you want to send e-mail alerts, you will need to configure the mail server options within PRTG. Do this by navigating to Extras | Options | System | Mail Server. Enter the IP address or hostname for the SMTP server. Also enter an e-mail address, which will be the alert e-mail's "from" address. If SMTP authentication is needed you can enter the username and password in this window as well. Once you are satisfied with your selection click OK to accept the changes.

Now let's suppose you have some custom applications, or even just some applications you want to specifically target in the reporting.Any protocols/ports that do not have a channel defined will fall in to the "other" channel.This could be applications that were designed in-house using a nonstandard protocol/port number, or a more common application that PRTG doesn't have defined yet, such as syslog.You can add to the list of "channels" and define your own by following these steps.

1. Navigate to Extras | Channel Library.
2. To add a specific graph entity for UDP-based syslog messages, for example, click Add Filter.
3. Enter a name for the channel, such as UDP_SYSLOG, for example, and click OK.The window will go back to the way it was, but the new channel name will appear in the list on the left.To edit the rules of the channel, select the channel to edit in the left pane, and then click in the right pane.
4. Enter Protocol[UDP] DestinationPort[514] and click OK.This adds the channel to the PRTG console but not to a specific sensor yet.

You should now have a new channel displayed in the legend on the Graph tab.You are limited to only 254 channel definitions, though this limitation isn't likely to pose much of an issue in a smaller environment.You should now have PRTG collecting data via sniffing.You can view the graphs from the Web page or the PRTG console.You also have defined any additional ports you want PRTG to recognize as a specific application as its own "channel."The final configuration options I will discuss are that of configuring the alerts. Odds are good you won't be able to sit and stare at the graphs all day and all night, so setting up some notifications might be one way to save time and energy, not to mention make you look like you have "network ESP" to your manager.To configure notifications and limits, navigate to Edit | Edit and select the Notifications & Limits tab.This tab provides the following options:

• Error Notification This will be triggered only if a sensor reports an error. Be aware that if there is a connectivity outage to the sensor, the sensor cannot report the error until connectivity is restored.
• Threshold Notification This is used to set specific upper or lower limits on a per-channel basis. An optional time span can be configured from seconds to days. If you do not specify a time span, the event will trigger as soon as the threshold is exceeded.
• Volume Notification This is similar to the threshold notification, except the volume is defined as an upper threshold and a minimum time span of one hour is required.
• Limit Line The limit line only serves to add a line to the 30-day graph.This could be useful, for example, to set the limit to 75 megabits on a 100-megabit network (75 percent) as a warning of when your infrastructure is reaching capacity.

All the notifications have several options that can occur when triggered. You can choose to send an e-mail, perform an HTTP Get request, execute a program/batch file, and change color of the graph background for each trigger.You can also combine multiple notification methods for a single trigger, such as changing the color of the graph background and sending an email. Given that PRTG includes a fully functional notification system, this really makes PRTG stand out among its peers as one of the best free network reporting tools available. As an example, let's assume you have a single T1 line at work (1.5 megabits per second) and you want to send an e-mail if traffic levels for FTP exceed 1 megabit per second. Follow these steps to configure the notification.

1. Select the desired sensor in the Sensors pane; then right-click and select Edit.
2. Select Notifications & Limits in the left pane.
3. Click the Add Threshold Notification button.
4. Choose a name, such as 1Mb_FTP.
5. In the Channel drop-down box, select FTP.
6. In the Threshold section, select over, 1, megabit per second.
7. Under Notification in the left pane, select Email.
8. Place a check next to Send Email.
9. In the Address field, enter the e-mail address of the e-mail recipient.
10. Select the e-mail template you wish to use and click OK.
11. In the Edit Sensor window, click OK to accept the changes.

With the capability to execute an external program based on thresholds and volumes, the possibilities are near limitless. If you wanted to integrate your PRTG alerts into a syslog infrastructure, you could use the EXE notification method to execute a batch file that uses a command-line utility to generate a syslog message. There is very little functionality that is unavailable in the free product, and a limitation of three sensors will likely pose little problem to a smaller organization.The graphing and reporting capabilities are exceptionally robust for a free product.

An easy to use SNMP Bandwidth Usage Monitor, that can also be used to monitor many other aspects of a network

PRTG Traffic Grapher is an application designed for system administrators who need to monitor their network in order to assess speed and reliability. This monitoring application focuses mainly on bandwidth usage, but it can also display readings for other parameters, such as memory and CPU utilization.

The installation process is rather smooth and it only prompts you to choose whether to install the Watchdog service or not. The interface is simple and offers easy access to options. At the first run, you can use the 'How to get started' section to configure the application step by step.

What you have to do next is to setup a new sensor to monitor. The built-in wizard guides you through the whole process. Depending on your network configuration, you can choose one of the four data acquisition methods that this application offers: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol); Packet Sniffing, NetFlow Collector Protocol or Latency Monitoring.

Even if you do not know which method is suitable for your network, you don't have to worry, as the wizard gives you detailed information about each one of them. Furthermore, you can use the network discovery wizard to let the program discover and create the SNMP connection.

The next steps of the configuration process depend on your choices. For example, choosing the Packet Sniffing options leads to setting a filter for data monitoring and the desired protocols.

The actual monitoring process splits the main window into multiple panes, where you can view the sensor list and the corresponding live data stream graph. The traffic tables contain data for the last day, month, year, as well as the top traffic consumers. Scheduling options are also available.

Not only can you configure and view live data regarding the monitored sensors, but you can also create usage reports, send them by email or save them for later reference. Custom graphs or tables can also be generated.

Although no longer supported by the developer in its initial form, PRTG Traffic Grapher remains a complete network monitoring application. It works with most network devices and supervises bandwidth consumption and traffic variations with the purpose of better network management.
