Full PRTG Network Monitoring Course with LAB to download. In this training you will learn all important elements in PRTG and You will be able to practice it in lab.

This is the Best course available in the market that will make you be confident in deploying the tool and monitoring all your infrastructure (Network , Servers , Applications)

PRTG is an IT Operations Management Solution that proactively monitors the network for performance, storage, bandwidth, configuration changes, compliance, and security. It is 100% web based and supports a wide range of vendors and technologies. It's easy-to-use and works out-of-the-box.

Network Performance Monitoring Monitor network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, etc., for health and performance via SNMP and CLI protocols.

Network Traffic Management Monitor and analyze bandwidth using Netflow, sFlow, jFlow, IP FIX and more. Find out top conversations, source-destinations & top applications and shape traffic by applying ACL.

Network Configuration Management Backup & monitor startup and running configurations of network devices via Telnet and SSH protocols. Get alerts for unauthorized configuration changes.

Physical & Virtual Server Monitoring Monitor Windows, Linux, Unix, VMware, Hyper-V & Xen servers for CPU, Memory & Disk utilization. Also, monitor Windows services, TCP services, processes, events and more.

Firewall Log Management Collect, archive and analyze firewall logs for security and compliance. Monitor and edit firewall policies to track user behavior and enhance network security.

IP Address & Switch Port Management Manage IP addresses (IPv4 & IPv6) and Switch Ports for space, availability and history.

Applications Monitoring Ensures high uptime and optimal performance of business-critical applications, both within the data center and on the cloud. Provides monitoring support for popular applications and their underlying infrastructure components from a single monitoring console


How Can I Monitor My Network?

The first step in getting started with your network monitoring is to identify which devices need to be monitored. You’ll also want to decide on what performance metrics you’ll be measuring.

*** if you have any questions or need help you can contact me over my LinkedIn ***

Here are some baseline metrics you’ll want to monitor:

  • Bandwidth usage: You’ll want your network to be sending as much data as it can without being overloaded. Your network monitoring tool can identify how much bandwidth is typically used versus how much is currently being used.

  • Throughput: This measures the percentage of data packets that are actually being sent.

  • Latency: This is the time it takes between requesting data and receiving that data. Performance issues can be almost too small to recognize, so it’s important to have a monitoring tool in place.

  • Packet loss: This is the number of data packets that are lost during data transmissions.

  • Retransmission: This is a measure of how often data packets are lost and need to be retransmitted to complete a request for data.

  • Network availability/Uptime: This lets you know if your network is currently available. Your network monitoring tools can alert you when the network goes down, and how often.

  • Connectivity: You’ll want to make sure your network connection is operating at top performance at all times.

3 Benefits of Network Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of your network helps you to troubleshoot not just hard failures but slowdowns as well. Metrics such as throughput, latency, packet reordering, and jitters can be used to measure your network's health.

Troubleshooting issues early ensures business continuity and fewer or no downtimes, including network monitoring benefits like:

1. Identifying Issues Anywhere in the Network

Network monitoring and assessment is a way to quickly locate a problem in the network. Monitoring your network's performance can show you the cause and source of a network problem, where and when it occurred. It can also tell you who needs to fix it. When you actively monitor your network, you can detect any performance changes that could be problematic to users before they occur.

2. Better Use of IT Resources with Network Monitoring

IT teams are feeling more burnt out as a result of the pandemic. With 72% of IT professionals having taken on new responsibilities since the outset of the pandemic, a network outage could be a productivity killer. For example, an under-resourced IT manager would be required to divert attention from one business critical project to another with little notice or preparation.

The tools in network monitoring systems reduce manual work for IT teams. This gives back valuable time to an IT team to instead allocate to more critical projects.

3. Providing Historical and Baseline Data with Network Monitoring

With the availability of baseline data, network monitoring tools can continually and automatically compare data. In case of performance degradation, an alert is sent to you, and you can immediately solve the problem. Historical data gives you a comparison point to determine optimal network performance or identify poor performance. It enables you to troubleshoot network problems of past events.

Fala sobre diversos pontos de PRTG, detalha nao apenas as configuracoes no servidor PRTG mas tambem em alguns tipos de dispositivos (firewall, switches, VMWare ESXi, etc.). Pra perfeito, faltou um pouco mais de teoria sobre SNMP, WMI, etc. e mais detalhes sobre as opcoes na criacao de mapas.

The author of the course provided all information on how to set up and use the networking monitoring system. He provided us with the basic LAB set-up, step-by-step; he has shown using WMI, SNMP and Netflow usage. The instructor uses a range of devices, including Cisco devices. Then he builds a Map (dashboard) - and then you collect the data and monitor your network. Thank you for the course! Yes, the author has an accent, but his accent is really easy to understand. Thanks again, awesome job!

I've been using PRTG for over 3 years but haven't been fully utilizing all the features. This video is showing me some things that will make monitoring much simpler.

Quite good and covers most of the topics. At the same time, reporting and maps areas are not covered as deep as wanted.

It was a good course with several hands-on activities, but I missed a chapter about SNMP. Maybe it can be included in the future.

I can give 1 star for the effort. I couldn`t find the elements I was looking. Where is the troubleshooting devices ? the Netflow wasn`t explained , like what are the netflow elements ? How to troubleshoot PRTG? Very basic course, maybe for very beginners. There is a lot more. The last section is a bonus for instructor to go buy more at his website. that should be called buy more

Instructor is very knowledgeable of the course and explains in detail how things work. Very easy to watch and get drawn into the course, and I usually have a hard time sitting through any video. This course and instructor make me want to sit through and watch and learn!

it`s feels like the instructor is reading from PowerPoint Presentation. very confusing and no practical examples, he talks like we already know the product but I`m new and I don`t have knowledge of it that why I`ve purchased it. money and time lost
