  1. As a Systems Engineer working in a team where multiple colleagues watch the same PRTG installation,
    I want sensors that have an open PRTG ticket related to them to display a visible ticket indicator directly in the sensor view (and ideally in sensor lists/alarm lists), with a link to the open ticket(s),
    so that I can immediately see that a colleague is already handling a Warning or Down state — without acknowledging (not possible for Warnings), pausing the sensor, or duplicating troubleshooting effort.

  2. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want the "Add Sensor" catalog to reflect all protocols and target system types that PRTG supports (including REST API, OPC UA, Modbus, and IoT/OT protocols), so that I can quickly discover the right sensor for any device in my environment - whether it's a traditional IT asset, an IoT device, or an OT system.

    Furthermore, I want the sensor catalog to show the latest version (v2) of a sensor type first when I search or browse, so that I naturally adopt the most current and best-supported sensor without having to scroll past outdated alternatives.

  3. As a Systems Engineer,
    I want to search for devices and objects by tags directly in the PRTG WebUI,
    so that I can quickly find and modify tagged devices without having to rely on the API.

  4. We would like to explicitly support this request and add an important real-world use case:

    In our environment, multiple international locations use the same PRTG server, but in different countries. For our international teams, English is required, while users at our German locations need to continue using German.

    At the moment, the UI language is tied to the system or global settings. A per-user language setting (e.g. configurable per PRTG user or user group) would be a much more practical and scalable solution.

    Concrete benefits:
    -One unified PRTG installation for all locations
    -Improved usability and fewer errors due to language…

  5. As a Systems Engineer using PRTG to configure SNMP Windows Service sensors, I want to be able to sort the list of available Windows services alphabetically by name, so that I can quickly locate and select the correct service to monitor without having to scroll through an unsorted, length-based list.

    Other sensors do not have this issue, for example the Veeam Backup Jobs sensor displays icons where you can sort by name.

  6. As a Systems Engineer, I want to be able to configure the port used by the PRTG New UI (currently hardcoded to port 1616), so that I can align it with my organization's network security policies, firewall rules, and port management standards — just as I can already do for the classic PRTG web server.

  7. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to set a persistent default time range for the system logs view (accessible via Logs in the main menu), so that I don't have to manually adjust the time range filter every time I access the logs, saving time and improving my troubleshooting efficiency.

  8. As a Systems Engineer managing daily monitoring operations, I want to filter sensor lists using negative tag filters (e.g., filter_tags=!noisy) in /sensors.htm, so that I can quickly exclude irrelevant or known-noisy sensors from my view without having to manually tag and maintain positive filter groups, making my day-to-day monitoring more efficient and reducing alert fatigue.

  9. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want granular filtering options for different paused status types in the sensor library so that I can quickly identify and manage sensors paused by different reasons to optimize troubleshooting workflows and operational visibility.

    Currently its only possible to filter sensor states in library for "Paused by user". It should also be possible to filter for "Paused by dependency", "Paused by schedule", "Paused by license" and "Paused until".

  10. As a Network Administrator monitoring multiple devices across different locations, I want libraries to display the device name and IP address alongside each sensor so that I can quickly identify which server or device is experiencing issues without needing to navigate away from the library view.

  11. As an IT administrator, I would like to be able to identify affected devices in PRTG right away. Having the correct device icon and manufacturer would help me with this task. Eaton, Ubiquiti and other icons are missing.

  12. As a PRTG administrator I would like to have a central rights management overview, where you can quickly see, for example, which access / management rights a group currently has in PRTG.

  13. As a an IT administrator analyzing time series basic functions like zooming should be allowed via mouse movements by dragging or using the scroll wheel versus using buttons so that I can see more granular data quickly and easily to troubleshoot a problem.
