Custom Sensor - add new tag for Value Mode of Channels
As a system administrator I use several custom sensors. For add new channels, the Value Mode can not be defined in custom sensor script e.g. powershell.
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensorsPlease add a new tag "ValueMode" with Average/Minimum/Maximum

SNMP Custom Table Sensor: Auto-naming from String Columns & Multi-Column Monitoring
Problem:
The SNMP Custom Table Sensor has critical limitations:
Sensors are named by row identifiers (e.g., "Table: OID / 128.141.183.198.171.212") instead of human-readable names from string columns
Only one column per sensor - monitoring multiple metrics per table row requires multiple separate sensors
String columns cannot be used for naming or identification
This makes monitoring dynamic SNMP tables (APs, interfaces, VPN users) impractical at scale.Requested Features:
1. Automatic Naming from String Columns
Add option to specify which table column contains sensor names
Example: Use column .1.3 (AP Name) instead of MAC address
Result: Sensors named "AP-Office-Floor1" instead of "Table:…2 votesHi there,

Native vCenter Alarm Monitoring Sensor
As a Systems Engineer managing a VMware vSphere environment, I want a native PRTG sensor that monitors vCenter alarms directly, so that I can gain complete visibility into the health status of my virtualized infrastructure without relying on third-party scripts or workarounds, ensuring I'm immediately aware of critical issues flagged by vCenter's own alarm system.
There is a third party sensor (https://github.com/Jannos-443/PRTG-VMware-Alerts), but something this fundamental should be built in.

Kubernetes Sensor
As a DevOps Engineer, I need a native PRTG sensor to monitor the health and performance of my custom applications running in Kubernetes, so that I can gain immediate, centralized visibility into their operational status, proactively identify issues at the cluster, pod, and application level, and ensure the continuous availability and performance of my services.
Kubernetes-Aware Monitoring:
- Ability to target and understand applications deployed via Kubernetes constructs (e.g., Deployments, Pods, Namespaces).
- Provide insights into the overall health and status of application deployments (e.g., how many instances are running vs. expected).
- Report on the status and lifecycle of individual application pods…

Support for Monitoring NetApp ASA r2 and AFX Systems in PRTG
As a Storage Administrator
I want PRTG to support monitoring of the new NetApp ONTAP-based systems ASA r2 and AFX
So that I can ensure full visibility and performance tracking of these devices within our existing monitoring environment.Context & Details
NetApp recently introduced two new ONTAP-based platforms:ASA r2: All-Flash SAN Array optimized for block storage.
AFX: High-performance NAS/S3 system designed for AI/ML workloads.Both systems leverage the ONTAP REST API but include specific changes and new endpoints:
ASA r2 introduces endpoints like /api/storage/storage-units and /api/storage/block-volumes for LUNs and NVMe namespaces, and recommends OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
AFX removes…

Turn two devices into one - unifying PRTG device credential
As a system administrator, I would like my physical devices to be represented in PRTG by a single virtual device in the UI to make things less confusing for me and my colleagues. Unfortunately, for certain devices and sensor technologies (MQTT, controller-managed devices), I need to create a second device in order to specify the address of the MQTT Broker or other "central" controller for sensor queries. Ideally, PRTG would allow the address of a device's controller to be defined in it's settings so that only one device is sufficient. Having one physical device mapped to one PRTG device would…

Zerto Analytics Portal Integration for DRaaS Protection Monitoring
As an IT Infrastructure Manager responsible for disaster recovery operations,
I want PRTG to integrate with the Zerto Analytics portal to monitor Virtual Protection Groups (VPGs), their size, RPO compliance, and replication health,
so that I can proactively detect drift in DRaaS protection, ensure business continuity compliance, and receive alerts when disaster recovery SLAs are at risk—all from within my unified PRTG monitoring dashboard.1 vote -
Microsoft Exchange Certificate Status Monitoring Sensor
As a Systems Engineer responsible for Microsoft Exchange servers,
I want a native PRTG sensor that can automatically monitor the status and expiration of Microsoft Exchange SMTP certificates (the default self-signed certificate used for internal server-to-server encryption (opportunistic TLS), and a separate "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" used for server-to-server authentication (OAuth)),
so that I can proactively detect certificate expiration or validity issues before they cause email delivery failures, authentication problems, or security vulnerabilities in my Exchange environment.Similar requests in the past:

Stratum level channel for the SNTP Sensor
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.7 votes -

Enhance RADIUS v2 Sensor to comply with RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator
As a Network Engineer, I want the RADIUS v2 sensor to support RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator validation so that I can monitor RADIUS servers with enhanced security and ensure authentication packet integrity in my network infrastructure. The client (PRTG Sensor) computes the hash (HMAC-MD5) from its own packet and then adds the attribute as a signature to the request. This is required for secure implementations of RADIUS.
