  1. As a PRTG admin I would like to collect SNMP v3 traps from my devices that support this extra security level. My company and/or customers demand this security step in order to be 100% compliant.

    Affected Application
    PRTG // PRTG Network Monitor // Sensors and Probe

    How does this improve your daily work?
    Hi we got several requests from customers who want to receive SNMPv3 Traps in PRTG.
    At the moment only v1 and v2c traps are possible to be received.

    Our customers request these so to get the software 100% BSI-compliant.
    Otherwise they're refraining from procuring the tool at…

  3. As a sysadmin I would like to see the stratum level as integer in the SNTP sensor. That way I can set limits/alerts on it when the required stratum level is not reached.

    The correct stratum level is important for synchronisation of time on different machines.

  4. As a sysadmin I would like to use the discovery and sensor templates in PRTG on a logical group of devices/services that was predefined with tags. This approach would speed up my daily work and reduce manual tasks.

  9. As a Windows Admin using PRTG I need to be able to monitor my business processes running as scheduled tasks so that I can ensure my business processes are executing.

    Today this is done via external tools and managing them is not ideal. There was a deprecated sensor for this but nothing really took its place. See https://www.reddit.com/r/prtg/comments/1lececg/if_youre_using_scheduledtask2xmlexe_from_prtg/

  10. As a PRTG user I want to monitor if my DNS server is delivering any addresses or the correct addresses depending on an internal or external request. DNS servers use TSIG keys to identify the type of request and answer it should deliver. If PRTG would support TSIG keys the answer of the server could be checked from one probe. The current workaround would be to create a probe for every context view the DNS server needs to be aware of.

  11. As user, I have a lot of alarms which I am aware of. When I restart PRTG, I get flooded with notification emails, stuffing my already full inbox and being an annoyance instead of being helpful.

    I am aware that such option comes with the risk that a new alert might be overlooked. But this is a risk I as a user would take in order to work efficiently with PRTG.

  12. As an IT Administrator, I want a native PRTG sensor to conveniently monitor the expiration dates of private and SMTP-TLS certificates, eliminating the need for custom scripts. This will ensure I'm proactively alerted to expiring certificates, preventing service disruptions and security vulnerabilities.

  13. As a PRTG user, I need to filter emails monitored by the IMAP sensor in minute intervals (e.g., "last 5 minutes" instead of "last 1 hour"). This will allow me to achieve greater granularity and detect critical, time-sensitive email notifications (like system alerts or transaction confirmations) much faster.

    Caveat: Implementing minute-level filtering will likely increase the load and resource consumption on the PRTG probe and core server due to more frequent and potentially more intensive checks.

  16. As user I want to use the WMI Service sensor with an account which has only read access as long as I use the option "Do not start/restart the service (default)".

    Because the WMI Service sensor has an option to restart the service in case it is not running, the user account for this sensor must be a write user. For optimal security I might want to use read-only accounts for monitoring. This would render the WMI restart option nonfunctional but allow me to not provide PRTG write access just to monitor the running status of a Windows service.

  17. As a PRTG user I would like to use the O365 sensor to be able to detect when I get an email with specific text in the subject or body so that I can monitor other processes for errors which are sending emails to report errors. Also, there's currently no option "If No Email Matches the Above Filters" for the MS365 Mailbox sensor as in the IMAP sensor.
