PRTG – Keep an eye on your network

[App] PRTG

PRTG brings the power of the PRTG Network Monitor interface to your Android 4.0+ devices.

It requires a PRTG 14.1 or higher installation. If you encounter any bugs, please send them to support[at]paessler.com, as we’re not notified of new comments.

Features include:

Full visibility into the state of your probes, groups, devices, sensors, and channels on multiple PRTG instances.
Pause, acknowledge alarms, trigger scans, run device auto-discovery, etc. You can do a lot of things with the app that you can over the web interface or the Enterprise Console, with an interface tailored to your mobile device.
QR code scanning makes it easy to jump directly to a sensor.
Enhanced notifications can (optionally) alert you in your device’s status bar when PRTG finds problems on your network.
Home screen widgets (available only on 4.1 or higher, sorry!) allow you to keep an eye on your network without the app running in the foreground.
Network tools such as ping, traceroute, and DNS lookups are included. We’ll be adding more in the future!

To use this app, you need to run an installation of PRTG Network Monitor 14.1 or later that is accessible from the network your device is connected to. If you don’t have a PRTG Network Monitor installed, you can still try a demo account, and the network tools are completely independent and don’t require any PRTG server to operate.

Running an older version of Android or an older PRTG release? You can still use our previous release, PRTGdroid: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paessler.prtg

Required Permissions:

INTERNET – Rather critical :-)
CAMERA – Required for the QR scanner.
WAKE_LOCK – Necessary for the alert functionality. Don’t worry, we put a lot of effort into keeping our battery and network use as low as possible.
Notifications can optionally VIBRATE your phone.
We use ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE to check if the internet is available, and to determine whether or not we should load large graphs (we don’t load them when you’re on a mobile data network).
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is needed to cache certain data.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED lets us set notifications back up after a reboot.

If you have any problems or suggestions, we’re happy to hear them. Just send us an email at support[at]paessler.com.

PRTG user reviews :

Good app, when it works. Notifications stopped working on my S7. Had to remove the app, reinstall, reconfigure, and then it would start notifying me again.

better, cheaper and easier than other big names in the monitoring business.

Does not scale to the 19.5/9 aspect ratio of modern phones (fat black bar at the bottom of the screen)

Good extension for PRTG monitoring system. Nice to have

You cant at this time setup a different push notification for a down alert or a up alert. Be nice to set a bad sound when a sensor goes down and a pretty sound when a service comes up. Just my two bits.

PRTG is an essential part of an IT admin’s toolbox. Having the app on my phone makes keeping tabs on the systems I manage much more convenient. Maybe that’s a bad thing – lol. Suggestions… selecting multiple sensors at once so I can pause/acknowledge them all quickly would be very helpful. Also, the comment field when pausing/acking a sensor shouldn’t be required, I never use it. Maybe add a check box for ‘Add comment’ to the pause time duration selector would be a good solution. REALLY needs a show all/hide all button for graphs.

Overall great app however latest upgrade hasn’t stopped maps from loading due to (incorrectly reported) out of date browser which is a pain when using maps for oncall overview dashboard

Works great, but I would love to see a feature where I can make ‘notification rules’ to get different notifications based on priority or other sensor variables. For example a high priority sensor might overrule silent mode with only vibration or including sound. A low prority sensor might only show a notification without sound or vibration.
