Native Veeam Backup & Replication API Integration for PRTG Backup Job Monitoring (Without Enterprise Manager)
As a Systems Engineer managing my organization's IT infrastructure with PRTG, I want PRTG to monitor Veeam Backup & Replication job statuses by connecting directly to the Veeam B&R REST API (v13+), so that I can monitor backup jobs without requiring a Veeam Enterprise Manager license or a portal administrator account, reducing both licensing costs and security exposure.
The current Veeam Backup Job Status (and Advanced) sensors still require and use Veeam Enterprise Manager (and require portal administrator role).
Would be great to refactor or build new sensors to use/connect directly to the Veeam B&R server instead of the Veeam…

OCSP Support for SSL Certificate Monitoring Without CRL Dependency
As a Systems Engineer responsible for monitoring SSL/TLS certificates,
I want PRTG's SSL Certificate sensor (and related sensors) to support OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) as a standalone certificate revocation verification method,
so that I can accurately monitor certificate validity and revocation status even when the Certificate Authority no longer provides a CRL (Certificate Revocation List), avoiding false alerts or "Unable to Check Revocation Status" warnings that undermine the reliability of my monitoring setup.1 vote -

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:…3 votes -
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 vote -
Monitoring of Individual Azure File Shares (per‑share capacity, usage, and performance)
Currently, the Azure Storage Account sensor in PRTG only provides metrics at the storage-account level.
As an IT admin, I need the ability to monitor each Azure File Share separately, including metrics such as used space,
free space, total capacity, file count, and I/O performance.Please introduce a new Azure File Share sensor that queries per-share metrics.
Possible channels:
Total capacity
Used space
Free space
File count
IOPS / throughput

Native Support for Sensors with Client Certificate Authentication
As a Systems Engineer monitoring secure enterprise services, I want built-in HTTP/HTTPS sensors to support client certificate authentication (mutual TLS), so that I can monitor certificate-protected administrative interfaces, APIs, and customer portals without having to create and maintain custom scripts for each endpoint.
In secure environments, many web-based services—especially administrative interfaces, APIs, and customer portals—are only accessible via HTTPS with client certificate authentication. These URLs cannot be accessed using standard HTTP/HTTPS sensors in PRTG, as there is currently no way to specify a client certificate and private key.
Currently, the only workaround is to use custom scripts (e.g., PowerShell or…

Add "Warning Duration" to Sensor Data (API & UI) to Identify Long-Standing Warning States
Currently, PRTG does not provide a way to determine how long a sensor has been in a warning state. This makes it difficult to distinguish between sensors that just entered a warning state and those that have been generating warnings for extended periods (hours, days, or weeks).
Feature Request:
Please add warning state duration information to PRTG with the following components:API Access (Most Important):
- Add a "warningduration" or "timeincurrentstate" field to the sensor API endpoints
- Enable filtering/querying sensors by warning duration via API parameters
- This would allow for automated reporting and custom…9 votes -
Expand SSL Certificate Monitoring Beyond HTTPS
As a PRTG network administrator, I want to monitor SSL certificates for both HTTPS and MS SQL Server connections, so that I can proactively manage certificate expiration across all critical services without relying on complex external scripts.
Since the current SSL Certificate is only for web (HTTPS) ports, it might be useful to update the name to "HTTPS SSL Certificate".
Within the scope of MS SQL Server's connection SSL Certificate for the 1433 port, it will be useful to provide a way to monitor the certificate's expiry date. There is a number of pages with Python scripts that will pull…
