Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent low availability, slow response times, suspicious activity, and other performance and security issues.
Financial institutions, financial services providers, and other organizations with regulatory obligations. eCommerce stores. Online customer service portals.
It doesn’t matter what business your organization is in. No customer wants their data to fall into the wrong hands, putting them at risk of financial crime. So, if they perceive interacting with you online as being a high-risk activity (read: they don’t trust you to do your due diligence and keep their data safe), it’s all but guaranteed that they’ll eventually walk straight into a competitor’s arms.
And if a security breach does occur... Well, let’s just say losing customers will be the least of your organization’s problems.
Paessler PRTG is your go-to HTTPS transaction monitoring software to help you ensure this doesn’t happen. It monitors key metrics round the clock and alerts you when there are deviations from your chosen thresholds that might signal an issue.
Better still, you can keep a close eye on customer transaction processes to make sure there aren’t basic errors or needless complexity that puts users at risk or creates friction that drives them away.
Keeping your network running smoothly is crucial for any business. Without good bandwidth management, your network might slow down to a crawl, causing delays, frustrating users, and overworking your IT team. But don't worry! With Paessler PRTG, you can take control of your bandwidth. It helps you manage network traffic, allocate bandwidth wisely, and stop bottlenecks before they become a problem, ensuring everything runs efficiently.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking transactions and multi-step end-user processes like login, checkout, and delivery in financial services portals, online shops, webinar platforms, and other interactive online environments. Show web page loading time, specific numeric values in HTTP responses, SSL certificate validity, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot slow or unresponsive web servers, suspicious activity, and other network issues.

With HTTP monitoring, you can mimic the actions of a real user. This allows you to create an efficient mechanism for testing complex workflows in your application. Regularly check if your users can access basic services such as registration, login, etc.
You can monitor the availability of your web applications around the clock from all possible locations. This allows you to catch bugs before your users encounter them. For best results, set custom threshold alerts to suit your application.
Predict major issues before they affect your system. Deviations from some metrics from normal may indicate potential problems. Regular monitoring and analysis of these indicators make it easy to predict and prevent the occurrence of serious problems.
Set up HTTP/S monitoring to regularly check the validity of your SSL certificates. If they expire, your monitoring will be able to pick up a new certificate before the user does and give you enough time to renew it. This will allow you to retain customers.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The HTTP Transaction sensor monitors an interactive website, such as a web shop, by performing a transaction using a set of HTTP URLs. The sensor monitors whether logins or shopping carts work properly. It can show the following:
The HTTP Content sensor monitors numeric values returned by an HTTP request. It can show the following:
The HTTP Advanced sensor monitors the source code of a web page using HTTP. It supports authentication, content checks, and other advanced parameters. It can show the following:
The SSL Security Check sensor monitors Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) connectivity to the port of a device. It tries to connect to the specified TCP/IP port number of a device with different SSL/TLS versions and shows if the device supports a particular protocol. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Real-time notifications mean faster troubleshooting so that you can act before more serious issues occur.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.
“Excellent tool for detailed monitoring. Alarms and notifications work greatly. Equipment addition is straight forward and server initial setup is very easy. ...feel safe to purchase it if you intend to monitor a large networking landscape.”

HTTPS transaction monitoring keeps a close eye on interactive online services. This ensures your customers can do what they logged on to do quickly and easily – whether that’s transferring money, buying something, or speaking to your support team about an issue – and that only those who are authorized to do so can actually log on.
PRTG automatically alerts you when there are deviations from your preferred thresholds, or suspicious transactions or activity, so you can fix vulnerabilities and prevent bad actors from gaining access to your network and committing financial crimes against your customers.
Well, why carry out transaction monitoring manually? Leaving aside that it's time-consuming and laborious, manual HTTPS transaction monitoring and risk assessment puts you at high risk of both false positives and serious security issues falling through the cracks. If you’re in a regulated industry, this could result in you falling foul of your regulatory obligations and getting fined.
But, even if you’re not in a regulated industry, the costs stack up. The average data breach cost organizations $4.88 million in 2024. Is it worth taking the risk, when there are monitoring systems that can help you prevent breaches from happening in the first place?
PRTG automatically assigns the appropriate sensors for every connected device in your chosen IP address range and monitors HTTPS transactions round the clock, automatically sending suspicious activity reports or deviations from your chosen thresholds.
Our preconfigured sensor for monitoring HTTPS transactions supports up to 10 transaction steps, with different HTTP methods for each step, custom headers, and authentication for protected web pages.
You can learn more about how HTTPS transaction monitoring works in PRTG, and get handy configuration tips on our Knowledge Base.
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.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
