SNMP Helper for Windows
Windows System Parameter Monitoring Made Easy
Paessler SNMP Helper enables PRTG Traffic Grapher or IPCheck Server Monitor to collect in-depth performance information from Windows servers and workstations. Up to several thousands parameters and performance counters of a PC can be monitored with just a few mouse clicks.
There are three different flavours available:
- Freeware Edition: Supports monitoring of memory, disks, network, and processors and comes free with the downloads of PRTG Traffic Grapher and IPCheck Server Monitor
- Pro Edition: Adds more than 2000 performance counters for servers and workstations running Windows 2000, XP or 2003
- Pro Extensions: Are available for in-depth monitoring of MS Exchange Server, MS ISA Server, MS SQL Server and MS Biztalk Server
SNMP Helper Pro and SNMP Helper Pro Extensions
SNMP Helper Pro can be combined with the SNMP Helper Extensions for MS Exchange Server, MS ISA Server, MS SQL Server and MS Biz-Talk Server.
The Pro Edition of SNMP Helper offers extensive server performance monitoring, with the ability to monitor 2137 counters for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003. With the optional SNMP Helper Extensions you can additionally monitor the following Microsoft Server applications:
- MS Exchange Server: more than 1726 performance counters
- MS SQL Server: more than 511 performance counters
- MS Biztalk Server: 32 performance counters
- MS ISA Server: 149 performance counters
To use SNMP Helper Pro you must either purchase a license for each server you want to monitor or you must request a Free 30 Day Trial License. Either way you will receive a license key and the installation files via email. Please install the software on the server that you want to monitor and enter the license key that comes with it. Afterwards you can monitor the additional system parameters by simply adding new sensors to IPCheck and PRTG.
Please note: SNMP Helper Pro is supported by PRTG Traffic Grapher V5.2 (or later) and IPCheck Server Monitor V5.3 (or later). Each server, you want to install SNMP Helper on, requires one license. If you want to use the SNMP Helper Extensions, SNMP Helper Pro must be installed on the same server as well. .
