PRTG

PRTG is a comprehensive network monitoring tool tailored to fit the convenience of your Android device. With compatibility starting from Android 4.0 onwards, it delivers a significant level of control and visibility into network management. The tool enables you to oversee the status of probes, groups, devices, sensors, and channels across multiple instances.

Users have the ability to pause, acknowledge alarms, initiate scans, and even launch an auto-discovery for devices, replicating many functions accessible through the web interface or Enterprise Console. The tool is designed to optimize the mobile experience with functionalities such as QR code scanning, which streamlines navigation directly to a particular sensor.

Alert management is a standout feature, offering optional enhanced notifications to keep you informed of network issues through your device's status bar. For quick monitoring without full engagement, home screen widgets are available, providing a passive glance at network health.

Integrated network tools including ping, traceroute, and DNS lookups, further enrich the platform, offering utility beyond server dependencies. Although compatibility with PRTG Network Monitor 14.1 or later is required and an installation must be accessible from your network, setting up a demo account is also possible for trial purposes. Furthermore, the network tools are fully operational independently of a server connection.

The tool maintains basic permissions to deliver optimal functionality and performance. These include internet access, camera functionality for QR scanning, wake lock for alert management, and vibration for notifications. It wisely manages data and storage use to minimize impact on device resources. Mindful of internet availability, the software avoids loading large graphs when on a mobile data network to resist unnecessary data consumption.

In summary, PRTG presents a versatile and user-friendly experience for network monitoring on Android devices, bringing a robust suite of features that offer seamless control and proactive management of your network environment.
