Paessler AG will unveil new sensor types for its PRTG Network Monitor and expand availability of Push Notifications at Interop Las Vegas, April 28-30.
These new capabilities can help organizations of all sizes unify their monitoring activities for a holistic view of enterprise networks, regardless of network size or the number of locations or devices monitored.
There are two new sensor types (measuring points) available, designed to improve cloud monitoring for global organizations:
- Cloud HTTP sensor - monitors the loading time of web servers from various locations worldwide via HTTP using the PRTG cloud
- Cloud Ping sensor - monitors the ping time to a target device from various locations worldwide using PRTG cloud
In addition, Paessler has expanded the availability of its mobile apps, with Push Notifications now supported for Windows Phone in addition to iOS and Android. In a recent survey of 648 Paessler customers, 49 percent of respondents said that they access PRTG using mobile devices, showing the rising importance of mobile access among network administrators. According to SuperSite For Windows, there are more than 50 million Windows Phone users, which will likely expand PRTG's mobile user base.
"The cloud continues to be a key driver of global IT systems, and our customer research shows that mobility is an important need among network and system administrators," said Christian Twardawa, COO of Paessler. "Our new Cloud HTTP and Cloud Ping sensors will help network administrators to harness the power of the cloud in their IT systems while monitoring network servers and devices - through the cloud - faster and more easily than ever before."

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why.

I was on a customer call last fall when an enterprise architect said something I haven't been able to shake. Her team had just spent four months trying to swap one AI vendor for another.

Most enterprise leaders don't expect that to be the experience ...
Ask any senior SRE or platform engineer what keeps them up at night, and the answer probably isn't the monitoring tool — it's the data feeding it. The proliferation of APM, observability, and AIOps platforms has created a telemetry sprawl problem that most teams manage reactively rather than architect proactively. Metrics are going to one platform. Traces routed somewhere else. Logs duplicated across multiple backends because nobody wants to be caught without them when something breaks. Every redundant stream costs money ...
