Paessler GmbH launches the multi-platform probe for PRTG

Paessler has introduced the multi-platform probe for Paessler PRTG. This release means that for the first time, PRTG network monitoring capabilities can be deployed to a variety of subnetwork types and non-Windows environments, including Linux and ARM infrastructures.

For customers, this means unparalleled flexibility and a consistent monitoring experience across diverse platforms and environments that run on Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, ARM platforms including Raspberry Pi, and NAS systems.

Paessler PRTG has long had the ability to monitor multiple device types, applications, and databases. However, probes – which sit between the PRTG core server and the sensors – have, until now, required the presence of a Windows machine to run. The multi-platform probe for PRTG changes this, allowing customers to leverage different hardware and operating systems for their network deployments, without compromising on monitoring performance across complex networks.

The multi-platform probe’s flexibility allows monitoring of subnets separated by firewalls, and remote locations. It ensures compliance with security regulations by implementing TLS 1.3 encryption to maintain the security and integrity of data during transmission, and offers sensor support for ICMP, SNMP, HTTP, and REST. On-premises deployments will still require a Windows-based PRTG core server, but for customers deploying in the cloud through PRTG Hosted Monitor, the multi-platform probe can now be run in a completely Windows-free environment.

“At Paessler, we listen to our customers’ needs and prioritise innovation. The significant demand for Linux compatibility highlighted in our surveys has driven the development of the multi-platform probe,” says Helmut Binder, CEO of Paessler GmbH. “This release marks a pivotal step in our commitment to delivering flexible and robust monitoring solutions that meet the evolving needs of IT professionals working in hybrid OT environments.”
