  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  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 Cloud/ DevOps engineer, I want to have sensors for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) similar to those available for Azure, so that I can monitor and manage my GCP infrastructure with the same level of visibility and control that I have for Azure environments.

  5. 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.

  6. As an IT Infrastructure Manager migrating from VMware to XCP-ng, I want native PRTG sensors for XCP-ng hosts and XOA management so that I can maintain comprehensive virtualization monitoring without losing visibility or requiring custom development work during and after migration.

  7. 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.

  10. User Story:
    As a Network Administrator managing critical infrastructure,
    I want SNMP Trap Receiver sensors to maintain persistent alarm states until problems are resolved,
    so that I don't miss critical issues that are only reported once via SNMP traps

    Acceptance Criteria:
    - SNMP Trap Receiver sensors can maintain error states until problems are actually resolved, not just until the next scan interval.
    - Users have multiple ways to clear persistent trap alarms (automatic clear traps, manual reset, or timeout).
    - The persistent state feature can be enabled/disabled to maintain compatibility with existing monitoring setups.

  11. 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.

  12. As a Storage Administrator, I want to add and monitor LUNs with an empty or unset comment field using the LUN v2 sensor in PRTG, so that monitoring coverage is not blocked by optional metadata and I can ensure complete visibility and SLAs across all storage volumes.

    Problem / Context:
    In many storage environments, the comment/description attribute of a LUN is optional and frequently left blank (e.g., when provisioned by automation or 3rd‑party workflows).
    When I attempt to add a LUN v2 sensor for such a LUN, PRTG fails with the error: “Das abgefragte Feld comment ist leer.” (“The queried…

  13. As an IT Infrastructure Manager or Systems Engineer, I want a pre-configured PRTG template for monitoring Sangfor hyperconverged infrastructure so that I can achieve comprehensive visibility into my virtualized environment without having to manually configure individual sensors or write custom scripts.

  14. As a Network Engineer monitoring network infrastructures with GRE tunneling, I want the sFlow sensor to sample GRE (IP protocol 47) traffic so that I can gain complete visibility into all network traffic flows, including tunneled traffic. Currently, PRTG sFlow sensor only samples UDP and TCP traffic.

  15. As a Systems Engineer managing servers with outbound-only connectivity, I want HTTP Push Data Advanced sensors to gracefully resume monitoring after maintenance windows by using the most recent push data received during the pause, so that I don't get false alarms and can maintain accurate monitoring continuity during planned maintenance.

  16. As a Systems Engineer managing multiple servers with multiple disk volumes, I want to configure disk space threshold triggers that apply to ANY partition across servers in a group so that I can efficiently monitor disk space without spending weeks manually configuring individual partition thresholds.
