Monitor bandwidth used between the PRTG core server and remote probe/s
Summary
One of the questions we often hear is: How much bandwidth do the PRTG core server and remote probe consume in a specific time frame, and how can we visualize it on a dashboard? For the sake of context, a few years ago our reseller Omicron AG from Switzerland set up an installation of PRTG with 10,000 SNMP sensors for one of their customers. Add the Packet Sniffer sensor to the probe system Packet Sniffer sensor comes into consideration if your network devices do not support SNMP or xFlow to measure bandwidth usage and if you need to differentiate the bandwidth usage by network protocol and/or IP addresses. It is important to understand that the Packet Sniffer sensor can only access and inspect data packages that flow through the network interfaces of the probe system. The purpose of this specific map is to explain the communication between the PRTG core server and remote probe, visualize bandwidth usage in graphs and emphasize the importance of monitoring the infrastructure from different layers.
