Throughout 2025, our Monitoring Matters webinar series has been packed with practical advice, live demos, and expert tips to help you monitor the most important components of your IT infrastructure. Whether you’re monitoring network devices, virtualization, physical servers, power, or storage, these sessions are packed with information you can immediately put into practice.

Network loops are one of the few pieces of evidence that the universe loves to laugh at us. Somewhere, right this minute, a five-dollar Ethernet cable is taking down a million-dollar infrastructure. An innocent intern trying to get internet in the conference room has both ends of a patch cable plugged into the same switch, and now 500 employees are staring at the spinning wheel of doom. Meanwhile, the CEO's slideshow presentation is stuck on the same slide for the umpteenth time, and the accounting department rocking back and forth crying, "Remember the good old days of the pre-internet world?"

If you're using an RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) solution or IT management tool, you may ask yourself if you need another piece of monitoring software as well. The question is valid, and we get it. Many IT professionals and sysadmins want to know how using Paessler PRTG Network Monitor can benefit them when they already have an endpoint or patch management tool.

Great news for your monitoring setup! We've just released PRTG version 25.4.112 to the stable release channel. This version brings you the new SNMP Linux Disk Free v2 sensor, several security improvements, and updated language files for German and Spanish.

As a network administrator, you are always faced with the problem of trying to manage the large number of network devices that make up your network infrastructure. From routers and switches to servers and printers, every device has its own way of communicating performance data. This is where a free SNMP MIB browser comes into play and can become your best friend for network management.

A MIB (Management Information Base) browser is a software application that allows you to access and interact with the management information stored on SNMP-enabled devices. In other words, it’s your specialized tool for reading, analyzing, and even modifying the data stored on your network devices. It’s like having a universal remote control for your network infrastructure – one that not only lets you see what’s going on, but also lets you make changes when needed.

Visualizing monitoring data from multiple PRTG servers is now more powerful and accessible than ever. As a PRTG Enterprise Monitor customer, you can now use PRTG Multi-Core Dashboards at no additional cost. These dashboards enable you to create comprehensive visualizations and transform your infrastructure monitoring with modern capabilities.

Great news! We just released PRTG version 25.3.110 to the stable release channel. This version introduces two new sensor types that have successfully left their BETA status, a new experimental sensor, and numerous improvements and fixes.

After seven weeks of setting up and fine-tuning your PRTG environment, you've created a comprehensive monitoring system. But are your sensors running as efficiently as possible? It's crucial to optimize performance as your monitoring environment grows to ensure accurate data collection without overwhelming your system.
