Deep Search Across Monitored Sensor Values for Asset Identification
As a Systems Engineer, I want to search across current (and historical) sensor values — such as SNMP-learned data and custom sensor results — so that I can quickly identify a device in PRTG using identifiers like a serial number or asset tag, without needing to know the hostname or IP address.
Request: Please add an advanced search option that can search across current (and ideally historical) sensor values, including SNMP and custom sensor results.
Use case: We often only have a serial number / asset tag from inventory or field service and need to quickly identify the corresponding device in PRTG without knowing hostname or IP.
Expected result: Searching for a serial number returns the matching value and clearly shows the related device (and sensor), with filtering options.

Hi there,
Thank you again for submitting your idea to Paessler. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
After careful consideration by our team, we've decided to decline this idea at this time. This decision was made based on several factors, which may include:
- It doesn't align with our current product roadmap or strategic priorities.
- The resources required for implementation outweigh the current projected benefits for our user base.
- There are technical limitations that prevent us from moving forward.
- A similar feature is already available or planned in a different way.
While this particular idea won't be moving forward, please don't be discouraged! Your input is incredibly valuable, and we encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.
Thanks for your understanding and for helping us shape the future of Paessler.
Best regards,
