PRTG makes IBM monitoring easy
Custom alerts and data visualization make it easy to monitor, identify, and prevent issues with IBM hard disks and servers.
Gain clarity into your IT environment: Monitor IBM hardware and more
Today’s modern IT infrastructure can range from a single, simple IBM device to a complex set of server farms, mainframes, fail safes, devices, applications, and a massive network connecting it all. Whether complex or simple, Paessler PRTG protects those critical devices and servers, minimizing crashes, disturbances, and worry lines.
Monitor from a central dashboard
Watching one IBM device is easy; watching one hundred is much more difficult – unless you have PRTG.
PRTG IBM monitoring gives you a single, centralized dashboard that offers insight into your entire IT infrastructure, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Get insight when you need it, where you need it.
Quickly detect errors & anomalies
Hard disks can fail, and servers crash, but 24/7/365 IBM monitoring with PRTG gives you proactive error detection for better system health & performance.
PRTG provides alerts set to predefined warning and error thresholds, which are immediately sent out to designated stakeholders. This allows your IT team to react quickly to potential issues before they become critical problems.
Reduce manual time & intervention
Pouring through device and server information can be time-consuming, to say the least. PRTG integrates with IBM’s automation tools, making it easier to respond to common issues.
Continual monitoring by PRTG also helps you identify underused resources or areas of potential bottlenecks, which helps in more efficient optimization and allocation.
Worry less about security
Complex environments necessitate an active network and can make it more difficult to detect security-focused anomalies.
Our IBM monitoring software provides comprehensive network traffic analysis and log monitoring, among others. These abilities help you detect and respond to security threats promptly while meeting compliance standards, even in complex IT environments.
What IBM monitoring looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously monitoring your IBM server environment. Show performance data, availability, and security across your IBM components and applications in real time. Visualize data in graphic maps & dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the visibility you need to troubleshoot issues with your IBM hardware.

How monitoring IBM environments with PRTG works
PRTG comes with more than 250 preconfigured sensor types, which you can use immediately and without limitation. All IBM sensors you need to monitor your various IBM hardware devices are included.
SNMP IBM System X System Health
The SNMP IBM System X System Health sensor monitors the system health of an IBM device. Which channels the sensor actually shows depends on the target device and the available components:
- Overall status
- Ambient temperature and CPU temperature
- CMOS battery voltage and system board voltage
- Fan RPM
SNMP IBM System X Physical Disk
The SNMP IBM System X Physical Disk sensor monitors a physical disk in an IBM server. The sensor shows the disk status.
- Up status: Completed, In Service, Ok, Power Mode
- Warning status: Dormant, Predictive Failure, Starting, Stressed
- Down status: Aborted, Degraded, Error, Lost Communication, No Contact, …
SNMP IBM System X Physical Memory
The SNMP IBM System X Physical Memory sensor monitors the memory modules in an IBM server. It can show the following:
- Memory controller condition
- Power status
Of course, thanks to its powerful API, PRTG also lets you create your own, custom sensors so you can monitor almost anything you please.

Monitoring IBM: FAQ
Why do I need IBM monitoring?
When it comes to monitoring IBM systems, “observability” is a critical function beyond keeping an eye on system performance. It helps with understanding complex systems for faster problem resolution, reducing testing times, and providing insights for multiple IT functions. From product managers to developers, monitoring is necessary to maintain the health and performance of your IT infrastructure.
What kind of IBM data does PRTG gather?
The preconfigured IBM sensors in PRTG check the status of all logical and virtual disks, as well as memory modules in your IBM servers. You can also monitor the system health of IBM devices: fan rotation, CPU temperature, humidity, voltage, and power supply status. This ensures your IBM devices continue to deliver the performance your company needs.
What IBM devices can PRTG monitor?
PRTG is designed to provide a complete monitoring feature set and is a comprehensive IBM monitoring solution that can monitor most devices and servers. Sensors can monitor IBM System X servers with SNMP and IBM StorWize with scripts and SNMP. For example, you can use a script to monitor various metrics such as virtual capacity, used capacity, and free capacity.
Can PRTG’s IBM monitoring be integrated with other network monitoring capabilities?
Absolutely. IBM monitoring can be easily integrated into PRTG’s full network monitoring capabilities, giving you even more information about your IT environment and infrastructure.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
PRTG: The multi-tool for sysadmins
Adapt PRTG individually and dynamically to your needs and rely on a strong API:- HTTP API: Access monitoring data and manipulate monitoring objects via HTTP requests
- Custom sensors: Create your own PRTG sensors for customized monitoring
- Custom notifications: Create your own notifications and send action triggers to external systems
- REST Custom sensor: Monitor almost everything that provides data in XML or JSON format
More than just a monitoring tool:
