  1. As a network engineer managing devices from ISPs and vendors with restricted SNMP configurations, I want PRTG to support SNMPv3 authNoPriv mode (authentication without encryption) so that I can monitor critical infrastructure devices that only allow this security level.

    Currently, PRTG only supports SNMPv3 with authPriv (authentication + encryption). Many providers, e.g. Telekom, only offer SNMPv3 in authNoPriv mode.

    Example configuration (as provided by Telekom, not changeable):
    Mode: authNoPriv
    Authentication Protocol: MD5
    Privacy (Encryption): None

    Since PRTG does not support authNoPriv, monitoring such devices is currently impossible.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    I have a couple of additional questions to make this more solid as we collect votes on this request :


    1. Which specific XCP-ng metrics are most critical for your monitoring needs?
    2. Do you need XOA-specific monitoring (backup jobs, user sessions) or primarily hypervisor metrics?

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  18. 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…
