Prtg Free Version



PRTG Network Monitor pricing starts at $1600.00 as a one-time payment. There is a free version. PRTG Network Monitor offers a free trial. PRTG offers a free package, which includes up to 100 sensors with a single server implementation. While this might sound like a generous offer, it’s worth noting how quickly you’ll use these sensors. The price of PRTG rapidly increases, and it’s arguably not cost-efficient.

Hello,

I am exploring PRTG free version & trying to check application/port level network BW visibility from CISCO Router. i have configured flow export on CISCO router & able to get netflow on netflow tester but not in prtg.

while trying to add sensor under probe device, unable to see prtg server IP under 'Receive netflow packets on IP' & getting message as 'No Receive NetFlow Packets on IP available' which seems prtg is not listening for netflow.

Kindly suggest where to enable it.

Hello Dhiraj,

Please try restarting the PRTG host and add a new NetFlow sensor then to see if it makes a difference. If you still experience the issue, please send us a support bundle ('Setup | Contact Support') for further investigation.

Kind regards,

Hello Erhard,

Strange, after system restart able to see local IP under Receive NetFlow Packets on IP & able add netflow v9 sensor.

But now not getting netflow data on this sensor. CISCO Router shows correct flow export but not able to see under sensor.

i have below config on CISCO Router & prtg netflow v9 sensor end.

CISCO Router Configuration

ip flow-export source GigabitEthernet0/1 (WAN Port)ip flow-export version 9ip flow-export destination 10.0.0.200 2055ip flow-cache timeout active 1ip flow-cache timeout inactive 15

Probe Netflow v9 1 Sensor Configuration

Receive NetFlow Packets on UDP Port : 2055Sender IP : 43.88.82.254Active Flow Timeout (Minutes) : 3Receive NetFlow Packets on IP : 10.0.0.200

Kindly suggest what else need to be check to get netflow on prtg sensor.

Hello Dhiraj,

Flow Timeout in the sensor should be ideally one minute higher than what'S configured in the sending device. Also check with NetFlow Tester if you indeed see flows coming from ip 43.88.82.254, if not, the sensor won't process the data unless the ip matches or you can also leave 'Sender IP' empty, then it will process all flows coming in on port 2055, regardless of which sender.

Kind regards,

Hello Erhard,

Thanks for the response. i have removed Sender IP & started getting netflow data. My requirement is to get netflow data from multiple CISCO Routers under separate sensors. if will use netflow without sender IP, all data will get aggregate on single sensor & will not be able to see exact data from each sender.

It's strange if i remove sender IP, m getting netflow data but if i specify actual source, stopped getting. same source data i can see through netflow tool.

Regards,Dhiraj

Hello Dhiraj,

Please send me an email ([email protected]) with the following details for further analysis:

  • Screenshots NetFlow sensor's 'Overview' and 'Settings' tab
  • Screenshots of NetFlow Tester after it was running for a few minutes and receiving flows (you need to pause the NetFlow sensor, otherwise NetFlow Tester cannot listen on the port)
  • Save decoded flows and templates in NetFlow Tester and attach them as well to the email.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Knowing when things break is good. Knowing before they break is even better.

PRTG Network Monitor includes more than 200 sensor types for all common network services, including HTTP, SMTP/POP3 (email), FTP, etc. But what is a sensor? One sensor within PRTG is one aspect that you monitor on a device. For example a specific URL, the traffic of a network connection, a port of a switch or the CPU load on a machine. Please have a look at the list of supported sensor types. Every entry in this list counts as one sensor. Normally, we are calculating with between 5 and 10 sensors per device, but of course that depends on what exactly you want to monitor.

We can alert you to outages before your users even notice them, including via email, SMS, or pager. Even better, after you use PRTG to track request times and uptime for a few months, you can optimize your network so your smartphone never gets a push from PRTG again. PRTG can print reports showing how good a job you are doing. (Tell your boss that your 100% uptime last quarter deserves a raise. We'll even print you the report to do it with.)
