Keep track of such resources in your network as LANs, WANs, servers, websites, and others. Enable automatic network detection and device assessment using thousands of sensors and receive alerts via email, push-notifications, or triggering HTTP requests.
PRTG Network Monitor is a powerful yet easy to use the powerful network monitoring solution that allows you to set up your complete network monitoring scenario within minutes. This incredible program runs with 10,000s of sensors offering automatic network discovery, device assessment and sensor configuration. What is more, the application features a highly interactive and customizable interface for optimized usability, making this task a breeze. Moreover, it includes more than 35 sensor types for comprehensive monitoring of small, medium and large networks such as WMI, PING, HTTP, SNMP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, and "Smart” sensors that e.g. automatically discover quad-core CPUs and and monitor them individually as well as the total CPU load. In addition to this, the integrated Webserver supports SSL security, multiple logins, user groups and an HTTP-based API for interfacing with other applications. All in all, if you are looking for a comprehensive and easy to use network monitoring solution, PRTG Network Monitor is perfect for you.
v20.1.55.1775 [Jan 22, 2020]
NEW - SENSORS:
- SNMP NUTANIX CLUSTER HEALTH: The new SNMP Nutanix Cluster Health BETA sensor provides an overview of your Nutanix cluster and shows the status of the cluster, as well as several performance metrics. Additionally to the quick status overview where you can see whether the cluster is started or stopped, for example, the new SNMP Nutanix Cluster Health sensors enables you to check I/O operations per second, used I/O bandwidth, and I/O latency with PRTG.
- SNMP NUTANIX HYPERVISOR: The new SNMP Nutanix Hypervisor BETA sensor monitors the health of your Nutanix cluster hypervisors. The sensor shows an overview of hypervisor performance metrics like CPU usage, traffic, and I/O data, as well as the number of active virtual machines on a node.
IMPROVED - SERVER:
- ACCESS RIGHTS: We improved the performance of the access rights check. This will speed up the loading times of objects in PRTG for non-administrative user accounts after the login. In certain cases, loading all objects after the login took quite long for user accounts except for the PRTG system administrator.
- LOGIN: We modernized the password reset approach that consists of receiving a link by email from where you can set your new password.
- PROBE CONNECTIONS: We improved the stability of probe connections to the PRTG server. After performance improvements for probe connections in PRTG version 19.2.50, some customers reported issues with the connection stability in certain scenarios.
IMPROVED - WEBGUI:
- GEO MAPS: If PRTG cannot retrieve data for geo maps when using the Google Maps API because of, for example, a wrong API key or unavailability of the service, PRTG now will show according information in the geo map section and logs to exactly tell you what went wrong.
- REPORTS: We improved the appearance of reports that include data graphs. The height of main and monthly graphs is now consistent in all report templates that include graphs. In previous versions, graphs in "graphs only" report templates were very large, so we reduced their size to be able to display channel averages on the same page and so help you to get as much information as possible at a glance.
- SENSORS: You are now able to directly identify the impact on the PRTG system performance of a running sensor in its general information section. Each sensor shows the performance impact bar that you already know from the Add Sensor page on its overview tab, live data tab, and data by days tabs. This information will help you to easier decide about what sensor types to use and which scanning intervals to configure to get the best PRTG system performance possible.
IMPROVED - SECURITY:
- LOGIN: We improved the handling of user sessions.
- WEBGUI: We fixed a potential XSS vulnerability of the PRTG web interface.
- WEB SERVER: This PRTG version comes with a more strict web server security by default to keep PRTG as secure as possible. TLS 1.2 will be the new default web server connection security.
CHANGED - SENSORS:
- PYTHON SCRIPT ADVANCED: This PRTG version includes a new Python distribution because of the end-of-life announcement for Python 3.4. Please make sure that your custom Python scripts are compatible with Python 3.7 when you update PRTG.
- REST CUSTOM (SIGFOX): We adjusted the default Sigfox templates for the REST Custom sensor to adapt the Sigfox v2 API. With this change we also combined the device state template (sigfox.device.template) and the token state template (sigfox.device.token.template) into one new template with different channels. Also, required lookup files are available again.
- WMI DISK HEALTH AND WMI STORAGE POOL: We implemented some cosmetic improvements for the beta sensors WMI Disk Health and WMI Storage Pool that we newly introduced in the last PRTG version 19.4.54.
CHANGED - GEO MAPS
- PROVIDERS: We removed the deprecated geographical map service provider CloudMade from PRTG. You cannot choose this provider anymore in section Geo Maps of the user interface settings in the PRTG system administration. If you had selected CloudMade before your PRTG update, the provider setting will be automatically changed to default.
FIXED - SENSORS:
- EXE/SCRIPT SENSORS: We fixed an issue with encrypting passwords that contain certain special characters like the dollar sign ($). The issue affected EXE/Script and EXE/Script Advanced sensors. The dollar sign, for example, broke the encryption method, which resulted in a password being partly visible as clear text in the sensor log when you enabled the option Write EXE result to disk and used according placeholders in the parameters field.
- MQTT ROUND TRIP: - The Client Key Password of the MQTT Round Trip BETA sensor is now masked in the sensor log that is written when you enable the option Write sensor result to disk.
