  2. As a Network Engineer managing critical network infrastructure, I want the SNMP Interface Traffic sensor to include an 'Interface Last Change' channel that monitors the ifLastChange timestamp, so that I can detect interface flapping and instability without having to create separate custom sensors for each interface or rely on SNMP traps.

  3. As a Network Engineer, I want to monitor interface speeds (ifSpeed) as additional channels in SNMP Traffic sensors so that I can detect speed mismatches, auto-negotiation failures, and hardware issues without creating multiple custom sensors for each interface.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  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 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.

  12. 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…

  13. As an IT Network Administrator, I want the Microsoft 365 Mailbox sensor to display mailbox size in MB/GB and usage percentage against quota limits so that I can proactively alert on approaching capacity limits and prevent shared mailbox outages that disrupt business operations.

  14. 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.

    1. 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…

  17. 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/

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
