I am trying to figure out how to bill for monitoring backups that are. Part of the contract is to maintain a large data backup of their hosted sites, local data, and email to AWS.

I am working on the side as an IT Administrator for a local small business. Interested? Send an email to How do you bill for IT contract work?

I gather they're neutral in terms of the current world events. I use Kaspersky, and for now I still trust it. So many things these days support SNMP, NAS, Access Points, Firewalls, Routers, Switches heck you can even get customer sensors that will show just about anything you can imagine.Ī single Server with PRTG was something nuts like 25 Sensors. I manage a network with a few switches, a few access points, a few servers and I am at 231 sensors, granted some of them are for ports that I am not currently using but more than likely will some day. I've tried using the newest version on a few occasions and could never figure out how to get just bandwidth in a simple straight-forward manner. A single 24 port router can use up many more than 24 ports and honestly I think the new version is way to complex compared to their older version 6.x which (to me) was very straight forward. For example you can also monitor the CPU Utilization, VLANs, LAG Groups in a Switch / Router. Yes but make sure you understand that a Sensor is a single Data Point in this case it could be a single port on a switch or router but you will find that depending on the device you can use up your 100 sensors very quickly. Is that 30 sensors used out of the 100 total? So the free version gives 100 sensors on any number of devices? Example: I have 30 locations, and I want to monitor the wan bandwidth. I think I'm going to use PRTG for monitoring. The interface is very busy and a little confusing, but that's because it's doing a lot of things.
