Hi, this is not so much a question, but a solution to a problem I encountered when using PRTG. I'm a home user, and though this problem really applies to anyone running a server for the first time, it applied in my case when trying to access the web interface of PRTG.
After resetting my router, my registered domain, a private site with an SSL, could no longer reach my PRTG server PRTG. Let's call it "
myprtgsite.net" At first I tried contacting my web hosting provider, and I struggled for days with them, but they couldn't help. Along the way I realized I could still connect to the site by entering my computer name along with the port number. So "MyPC:443" worked for example. Finally, I could connect.
However, my SSL was gone when I did this, and I didn't like that workaround anyway. I had paid for the domain name with the expectation that it would work.Finally, I reached someone at the web hosting company who recommended I call my ISP, so I did.
This turned out to be the right decision. Verizon, my hosting provider, has SON, or "self organizing network" turned on by default. They suggested turning it off, and wallah! My website name worked again. After a week, the problem was solved. "
myprtgsite.net" didn't lead to oblivion anymore.
Being more of a networker in training than most of you guys, I'm sure, I don't quite understand how the SON feature interfered with the DNS server and blocked the URL from connecting. The lady at Verizon explained that the feature could be a little buggy and needed updating. Well, until it does, I know I'm going nowhere near it. But does anyone have a better answer, as to why exactly the SON feature blocked my server from being accessed by my domain name? Thanks!
Thank you for that information, usually we also recommend to contact the provider for these kind of issues. From the PRTG perspective we don't have more details on why this could be blocking that port. It really doesn't look like that feature is for that purpose.
Thanks for the reply. I did some reading and it appears SON started out as an exclusive feature just for LTE networks and mobile phones. But Verizon Fios has been the pioneer in bringing it to home Wi-Fi networks, with mixed results as we can see. I'm no expert so I can't say how it influences the DNS server though, which is where it blocked my PRTG access (at least through my domain name).
Ensure your computer systems are running smoothly, avoid outages, and increase the efficiency of your network by monitoring bandwidth and resource consumption with Paessler PRTG network monitoring tools.
Setup is quick and easy in just minutes with the auto-discovery of our network meter. The preconfigured device templates select the appropriate sensor settings for servers, applications, and network devices. You can also manually configure PRTG, of course.
With the freeware edition of PRTG, you can get started with network monitoring in a matter of minutes. Our auto-discovery function detects all the devices within a given IP address range and automatically incorporates them into your monitoring environment.
Network monitoring refers to the monitoring of an entire network environment. Its goal is to allow sysadmins to work in a better, quicker, and more efficient manner. Network monitoring focuses on parameters such as bandwidth consumption and the availability of network devices.
Some of the monitored devices include the local and Internet-based systems in an IT environment, such as databases, applications, clouds, servers, and network infrastructures. Network monitoring allows admins to ensure their networks run smoothly, effectively, and free of errors.
Yes, you can. You get to choose which devices are monitored by PRTG. You also get to define the scope of your monitoring. For example, you can choose to only monitor the CPU, free disk space, or certain ports of a specific device.
Yes. PRTG uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), performance counters, and SNMP to monitor your Windows Servers, operating system, processes, and services. You can monitor the following Windows parameters, for example:
All PRTG Network Monitor licenses are available as subscriptions, paid annually. This way, you always have continued access to the latest version of PRTG including new features and security enhancements, as well as to our technical support.
* In PRTG, sensors are the basic monitoringelements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, forexample the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space ona disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device.
No, it is not possible to combine different PRTG Network Monitor licenses on one server,for example, buying a license for 500 sensors* and a license for 1,000 sensors does notmean that you can use 1,500 sensors in one installation. PRTG only accepts one licensekey per server. If you need more sensors, you can upgrade to a larger license any time.
* In PRTG, sensors are the basic monitoring elements. Onesensor usually monitors one aspect of a network device, for example the CPU load ofa server. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device.
Scenario 1: You want to upgrade with the start of a new subscription period. In this case, your new license contract (including the use of a larger number of sensors) is effective as of the date your new subscription period starts. Your license key remains the same.
Scenario 2: You want to upgrade mid-term. In this case, your new license contract (including the use of a larger number of sensors) is effective as of the purchase date.

P.S. I started trying to use PRTG to monitor a few devices on my home network, especially wanting to monitor the reliability of my Internet access over time. I was thrilled to see it watching local disk available space, and the Sonos devices on my network as well. I saw that when the trial period expired after a month, it would be limited to 100 probes, and that seemed quite reasonable, for my unexciting home network.
After a few weeks, I realized it had stopped monitoring, so I started it back up. I tried the home screen shortcut, but it didn't work, so I restarted the windows service, and that seemed to get it going. It took me a short time, to notice it had switched to the localhost address, probably during that restart. It's not a huge deal, since I'm only accessing it from the local computer, but I'm not comfortable running software that's complaining about problems, and I'd really like to get to the bottom of this.
