Paessler introduces new capabilities to its monitoring solution PRTG Network Monitor enabling organisations to have a holistic view of both operational technology and traditional IT infrastructure data insights.   

Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor is now able to support common communication standards within an industrial IT environment.  

 

The monitoring specialist has developed PRTG to support an extensive range of industrial IT protocols. This allows PRTG to bring data from the factory floor into the monitoring concept using native sensors for OPC UA, MQTT and Modbus TCP. The result is a holistic approach to industrial IT monitoring by combining both operational technology and traditional IT infrastructure data insights.  

Innovations within Paessler’s PRTG monitoring solution to broaden its scope to cover industrial IT monitoring include: 

 - The ability to monitor Modbus TCP devices on the factory floor without the need for protocol converters 

 - Support for the commonly used industrial interoperability standard OPC UA 

 - The ability to monitor the health status of Soffico Orchestra   

 - The implementation of the MQTT messaging protocol (including the ability to monitor MQTT Broker and MQTT Statistics, and to send out MQTT-based notifications), providing insights into machine-to-machine communication within the IoT and industrial IT space. 

Helmut Binder, CEO at Paessler
The roll-out of these new market-driven features in PRTG, which are tailored to industrial environments, marks the beginning of our journey to build a more comprehensive offering for the evolving monitoring needs of our customers.

Markus Mediger, Product Manager IoT and Industry at Paessler
By being able to collect data from the most widely adopted cross-vendor protocols such as OPC UA, MQTT and Modbus TCP directly in PRTG, Paessler can combine the worlds of IT and industrial IT. This brings enormous possibilities to customers looking to have a more holistic approach to their entire technology infrastructures.
