Paessler, a provider of network monitoring software, has released its PRTG Network Monitor v.7.2 which features new Windows Graphic User Interface (WIN-GUI), extended reporting functions and the Amazon CloudWatch Sensor.

The company said that the new WIN-GUI enables administrators to manage sensors more rapidly and conveniently. The PRTG CloudWatch Sensor facilitates transparent monitoring of performance data and status by linking directly to the Amazon CloudWatch service

The company claims that the S-View display mode in the WIN-GUI provides an option to display compact overview of all groups and devices. A color-coded identification system makes monitoring sensor status simpler and easier to recognise.

According to the company, the new PRTG v. 7.2 includes several new report templates to improve reporting efficiency. Each template generates a top 100 list of specific sensor values, along with other improved display options.

Other new functions and sensors include QoS Sensor, IP SLA Sensor, Microsoft HyperV Sensor, RADIUS Server Sensor and support for NetFlow 9 and sFlow.

The company said that the user interface can be installed on additional computers with remote access to the PRTG core application on same license.
