Dynamic Interface Naming with ifIndex-Based Port Identification for SNMP Traffic Sensors
As a Network Engineer, I want PRTG SNMP Traffic sensors to dynamically update interface descriptors (ifAlias, ifDesc, ifName) on every scanning interval while using ifIndex as the primary immutable identifier for port identification, so that sensor names remain accurate and searchable when network device interface descriptions are changed through configuration management.
In cases where ifAlias, ifDesc, and ifName are used in port name templates, PRTG SNMP Traffic sensors should always pull these values and update them.
ifIndex should be used by default to identify the ports and the other OIDs should be used as dynamically updating fields on every scanning…

Scheduled tasks sensor
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/

Cisco ACI sensor
As an Enterprise Network Administrator managing Cisco ACI infrastructure I want a dedicated Cisco ACI sensor in PRTG so that I can monitor the health, performance, and status of my Application Centric Infrastructure fabric without needing separate monitoring tools or complex custom scripts.
Background:
With the increasing adoption of software-defined networking and the complexity of modern data center environments, customers using Cisco ACI need comprehensive monitoring capabilities. Currently, monitoring ACI requires either expensive third-party tools, custom API integrations, or basic SNMP monitoring that misses critical ACI-specific metrics like fabric health scores, policy compliance, and tenant-specific performance data.6 votesHi there,

Turn two devices into one - unifying PRTG device credential
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…

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…

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).

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

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.

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…
