PRTG (Paessler Router Traffic Grapher) is a network and bandwidth usage monitoring software that has become the Microsoft Windows standard alternative to MRTG for bandwidth and network monitoring.

=Overview=

With PRTG bandwidth usage of a network can be monitored using the three most common bandwidth data acquisition methods:

Using SNMP not only bandwidth usage but also many other network readings (e.g. CPU usages, disk usages, temperatures) can be monitored using SNMP OIDs.

The usage data is constantly recorded and the historic data can be analyzed e.g. with data tables for usage billing and graphs for trend analysis via a web server interface and in a Windows GUI.

PRTG was originally developed by Dirk Paessler when he discovered how much effort it is to install and configure MRTG on Windows systems. A freeware is available.
