While the beta test of PRTG 8 is running we are posting a series of blog articles about new features! In the last blog entries, a lot of new features have already been introduced. To give you an extensive insight into the new Ajax web interface, we've compiled a series of screenshots so you can directly dive into the new look & feel of PRTG.
The tree view lists all of your devices in hierarchical order. Here, the Root group is shown with groups and devices, and the sensors for the devices. On the right side, summary charts for monitoring data are shown, as well as a geographical map indicating the location for every device.
The detail view of a device lists all sensors, monitoring different aspects, such as Ping, different protocols, and ports with status and mini-graphs. Here, a hardware firewall is shown. On the right side, summary charts for monitoring data are shown, as well as a geographical map indicating the location of the device.
Detailed graphs visualize your monitoring data. Here, a graph for a Ping sensor is shown. Every line shows one channel of the sensor, such as downtime, minimum and maximum response time, and average Ping time, and Packet Loss in percent.
NetFlow, sFlow, and Packet Sniffing sensors support customizable toplists. They show the bandwidth usage by IP address, protocol, etc. Here, a toplist of the Top Talkers for a time span in August is shown. The chart shows the bandwidth usage by IP in percent.
Stacked Graphs visualize the components of the total bandwidth usage. The screenshots below show:
You can choose from over 80 different sensor types. You can choose a sensor by category, or simply search for a sensor type name.
The Alarms list shows all sensors that are currently in an Alarm or Warning status. It assists you to gain an overview of all problems in your network very quickly. The list shows the sensors' states, last value, message, and a mini-graph.
Using the Maps feature, you can create your own overviews of your network. Simply add objects from your setup, for example, icons, data tables, or graphs. You can make every Map publicly accessible, if you like.
Adding new objects to your Map is easy: Simply select an appropriate icon from the list. You can also choose from geographical maps. Additionally, you can draw lines between objects to visualize network connections.
Keep track of your cluster's status at any time. The Cluster Status page shows which nodes are connected to the cluster and if there are any connection or performance problems.
