News From PaesslerPaessler PRTG?24.4.102 is now available in the stable release channel!The last PRTG release for 2024 is now available in the stable channel! This release includes the new SNMP Disk Free v2 and WMI Microsoft SQL Server 2022 sensors. It also introduces the experimental SNMP UPS Status, SSH Meminfo v2, SSH Load Average v2, and SSH Remote Ping v2 sensors, along with updates to the German and Spanish language files. Network capacity planning for optimal network performanceEffective network capacity planning is vital for sysadmins aiming to optimize network performance and manage bandwidth efficiently. By forecasting potential bottlenecks and monitoring network traffic, you can ensure smooth operation and minimize latency, enhancing overall network management. SNMP v2 vs v3: Understanding SNMP's Evolution in Network ManagementThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is essential for managing and monitoring network devices. As network environments change, understanding the differences between SNMP v2 and SNMP v3 becomes important. SNMP v2 offers improvements over SNMP v1, such as 32-bit counters and better error handling. However, SNMP v2c still uses community strings for authentication, transmitting data in plain text, which poses security risks. On the other hand, SNMP v3 introduces a robust security model, offering authentication and encryption, which helps prevent unauthorized access to your network infrastructure. Centroflora Group monitors its factory floor & power supply with Paessler PRTGAn organization fully aligned with the ESG model, Centroflora industrializes nature to deliver valuable supplies to pharmaceutical giants. Until recently, the high degree of automation was based on PLC networks distributed across three different production segments: evaporation, drying, and supply extraction. The company was looking for a way to gain a holistic view of those three environments to support the ongoing evolution of best practices for maintenance and facilities management. 3 Ways to make monitoring a part of your BYOD management strategyEven before 2020, the concept of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) was already widespread. But once the pandemic set off the remote work trend, BYOD policies became even more widely implemented. While BYOD has certainly allowed for more flexibility, it brings with it a whole new set of challenges. Among these are increased security risks and bandwidth usage. These challenges make it paramount that companies have comprehensive BYOD management strategies in place. And no BYOD strategy is complete without infrastructure monitoring. We?ll soon take a look at 3 ways monitoring can support your BYOD policy, but first, let?s understand the challenges BYOD brings with it. Monitoring disk usage on Synology NAS with PRTGIn my recent blog article, I talked about using native PRTG sensors to monitor the status of logical and physical disks on a Synology NAS. If you missed it, you can read it here, 'Key metrics to monitor a Synology NAS with Paessler PRTG'. These sensors only monitor the disk status, not the actual disk usage.

With a unique blend of expertise in global operations and financial management, Dinesh knows how to navigate Paessler through changes and towards future growth and innovation. Infield ICT relies on Paessler PRTG to monitor hospital infrastructuresInfield ICT works with several hospitals, including the Cura?ao Medical Center. There, the IT expert built the complete ICT infrastructure. To date, the company maintains this infrastructure through managed services, allowing healthcare providers to fully focus on patient care. For monitoring here and at other customers, Infield ICT relies on Paessler PRTG. New release: PRTG 24.3.100 is available in the stable channel!Before we get into all the monitoring goodness that a new release of Paessler PRTG always brings, let?s just take a moment to recognize that this is the 100th release of PRTG! And we?re still going, bringing you new functionality and improvements with every release. Which brings us to what?s inside this one. We have a new experimental sensor, we?ve implemented several server and sensor improvements and fixes, and the API v2 and new user interface have also been worked on. Let?s jump in with a summary! Network observability for enhanced network performanceNetwork observability is essential for maintaining optimal network performance. By leveraging real-time metrics and advanced dashboards, you can gain actionable insights to troubleshoot issues efficiently. Enhance the user experience with precise visualization of network behavior and proactive monitoring. Paessler PRTG enables Noblecom Technology to enhance their network observabilityPaessler PRTG Enables Noblecom Technology to identify potential problems before they disrupt critical building operations whilst enhancing its own network observability. PRTG monitors stadium technology and ensures match operations at German Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05A visit to a football stadium is always a unique experience. The anticipation, the journey, entering the stadium, the smell of bratwurst in the air. But have you ever wondered what kind of technical effort goes into making sure a game day goes off without a hitch?As in many companies, the motto in soccer stadiums is: nothing works without IT. From stadium admission, wireless network access, and functioning floodlights through to paying for beer at the concession stands ? all this and much more is controlled by IT today. A match day would not be possible without IT.Read in this article how German Bundesliga football team 1. FSV Mainz 05 uses PRTG to monitor the entire stadium technology and secure the match operation. Key metrics to monitor a Synology NAS using Paessler PRTGData is at the heart of any industry, and storing and maintaining it properly plays a crucial role for business operations. Data should be stored by following the 3-2-1 backup rule and using reliable storage devices.
