Enhanced Windows Update Sensor with Time-Based Criticality Tracking
As a System Administrator responsible for security compliance, I want to see how long Windows updates of different criticality levels have been available so that I can prioritize patching efforts based on both severity and exposure duration, ensuring compliance requirements are met and security risks are minimized.

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…

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.

Flexible Channel Selection for Citrix XenServer Host Sensor
As a System Engineer monitoring large-scale Citrix XenServer environments,
I want the ability to selectively choose which channels to monitor in the Citrix XenServer Host sensor (e.g., specific CPU cores and hardware components),
so that I can reduce sensor complexity, improve performance, and maintain a clear overview when monitoring systems with 200+ CPU cores without being overwhelmed by hundreds of unnecessary channels.1 voteHi there,

Granular Monitoring for Individual Azure Storage Services
As a Cloud Infrastructure Manager,
I want the ability to monitor individual storage services (Blob, File, Queue, Table) within an Azure Storage Account separately, in addition to the overall account-level metrics,
so that I can set specific alerts and thresholds for each storage type, quickly identify which specific storage service is experiencing issues, and ensure more effective and targeted monitoring of my Azure storage infrastructure.1 vote -
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…

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.6 votes -
Add Maximum Bandwidth Tracking Channel to SNMP Traffic Sensors for Enhanced Capacity Planning
As a Network Engineer, I want PRTG's SNMP Traffic sensor to include additional channels that track maximum bandwidth values (In/Out) over configurable time periods, so that I can accurately assess true network capacity utilization for effective capacity planning and infrastructure decision-making.

Adaptive Sensor Scanning Intervals Based on Threshold Breaches
As a Systems Engineer managing critical infrastructure, I want sensors to automatically switch to a higher sampling rate (down sampling interval) when a predefined threshold is exceeded, and revert to normal interval once the condition clears. This feature could be optionally combined with the existing "Unusual Detection" capability for intelligent, context-aware monitoring.
Currently, PRTG sensors operate at a fixed scanning interval regardless of the monitored value's state. This means that during critical events (threshold breaches, performance degradation, outages), we capture data at the same granularity as during normal operations—missing valuable diagnostic information precisely when we need it most.
Proposed behavior:

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.

HTTP Data Advanced Sensor - Historical Debug Data Retention
As a Systems Engineer, I want to retain multiple historical debug results, when the option "Result Handling -> Store result" is enabled in the HTTP Data Advanced sensor settings, so that I can compare different responses over time without losing debugging information between sensor scans. For now only the last result is stored.

Developer API for creating SNMP sensors
As an advanced user, I would like to use a framework in the form of a sensor API. This could be a Python library that allows me to use PRTG's internal SNMP stack with connection establishment, authentication, querying, etc., while also giving me the ability to build advanced SNMP sensors. This allows different OID trees to be combined in the code, which is not possible with SNMP custom sensors. This framework is intended to abstract the complexity of pure SNMP communication and allow developers to focus on logic and data processing.

Local Time-Based Sensor Scheduling
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to schedule PRTG sensors to run at specific times using our local system time (not UTC), so that I can align monitoring activities with our business hours, maintenance windows, and operational schedules without having to calculate time zone conversions.

Prometheus sensor which can scrape prometheus exporters
As a syadmin who is a current Prometheus user I would like to get metrics from Prometheus exporters so that I can have my metrics in PRTG along with my other infrastructure data.
Ideally I could also scrape these from other Prometheus compatible endpoints such as the OpenTelemetry collector.
