How to get the most out of Syslog monitoring with PRTG and Fastvue
Syslog – One log to rule them all. Calling all Sysadmins - I hope you have December 3rd marked down in your diaries this year?

Industrial PCs have many uses within industrial Operational Technology (OT), such as controlling processes and machines, data acquisition, or acting as front-ends for control computers in distributed processing environments.

Working at Paessler during the pandemic: Our coworkers describe their "new normal"
Compared to other countries, Germany has always been very attached to the "culture of presence". Now, however, the pandemic has proven to skeptics that things can be done differently and has dispelled many concerns. What was the privilege of a minority among Germany's workforce before the pandemic has become a mass phenomenon in these times of seemingly endless corona lockdowns. Office workplaces have been relocated to the office at home. The door to modern working has been pushed wide open! The proportion of employees in Germany who work predominantly from home offices recently rose from 5% to 25%. This means that home offices are unlikely to become a rarity, even after the pandemic. Here at Paessler, too, the majority of employees work remotely.

What Paessler PRTG can tell you about your Buffalo TeraStation
On the 29th of April 2021, Buffalo celebrated 18 years of business in the network-attached storage world. Their initial focus was home and Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) users. With the further development of TeraStation, it has been expanded to SMB (small and medium business) users. The first TeraStation model, the HD-HTGL/R5, released in December 2004 and received a lot of attention with a chassis that can house four drives and a full-sized power unit while keeping a compact form factor. Today’s TeraStation supports 10GbE speed, cloud integration capability, and the most robust physical and logical data security features ever provided on a TeraStation.
What's the status of your industrial cabinet?
One of the greatest benefits of monitoring OT and IT in an industrial environment is the ability to put important information onto dashboards so that the right teams can see the right data. I’ve already written about how a dashboard can provide a good overview of IT and OT convergence. Now, with this article, I’ll take a look at another example of dashboards in industrial IT. This time, we show the health and status of an industrial cabinet and its contents.

5 monitoring strategies for cyber security in OT
There is no doubt that the most secure OT environment is an isolated network, which does not necessarily need special security measures.

How to integrate Advantech gateways with PRTG using Node-RED
As is well known, a gateway can establish the connection between industrial machines, control units or individual sections of production lines and classic IT networks.
