WMI Service sensor
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.

Support for sensor templates (same common settings for same sensor types)
As a PRTG admin deploying multiple sensors we must make manual adjustments after auto discovery we would like to use a template to apply defaults similar to device templates so that we could reduce the manual effort the team does today.

VMware Snapshot Monitoring Sensor
As an IT administrator managing VMware infrastructure, I would like a dedicated sensor to monitor virtual machine snapshots in PRTG, so that I can proactively detect and remediate snapshot-related issues before they cause performance degradation or storage outages.

Native vCenter Alarm Monitoring Sensor
As a Systems Engineer managing a VMware vSphere environment, I want a native PRTG sensor that monitors vCenter alarms directly, so that I can gain complete visibility into the health status of my virtualized infrastructure without relying on third-party scripts or workarounds, ensuring I'm immediately aware of critical issues flagged by vCenter's own alarm system.
There is a third party sensor (https://github.com/Jannos-443/PRTG-VMware-Alerts), but something this fundamental should be built in.

Add support for SNMPv3 authNoPriv mode in PRTG
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): NoneSince PRTG does not support authNoPriv, monitoring such devices is currently impossible.

Enhance RADIUS v2 Sensor to comply with RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator
As a Network Engineer, I want the RADIUS v2 sensor to support RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator validation so that I can monitor RADIUS servers with enhanced security and ensure authentication packet integrity in my network infrastructure. The client (PRTG Sensor) computes the hash (HMAC-MD5) from its own packet and then adds the attribute as a signature to the request. This is required for secure implementations of RADIUS.

Enhanced Windows Update Sensor with Time-Based Criticality Tracking
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.

Developer API for creating SNMP sensors
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.

Keyword detection on O365 sensor
As a PRTG user I would like to use the O365 sensor to be able to detect when I get an email with specific text in the subject or body so that I can monitor other processes for errors which are sending emails to report errors. Also, there's currently no option "If No Email Matches the Above Filters" for the MS365 Mailbox sensor as in the IMAP sensor.

Prometheus sensor which can scrape prometheus exporters
As a syadmin who is a current Prometheus user I would like to get metrics from Prometheus exporters so that I can have my metrics in PRTG along with my other infrastructure data.
Ideally I could also scrape these from other Prometheus compatible endpoints such as the OpenTelemetry collector.

Built-in Migration from Old SNMP Sensors to Their v2 Successors with Historical Data Retention
As a Systems Engineee,
I want a built-in/ automatic migration from existing legacy SNMP sensors to their newer v2 sensor equivalents,
so that I can adopt the improved sensor types without manually recreating hundreds of sensors and without losing my historical monitoring data, alerts, and configurations.4 votes -
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:…4 votes -
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…

Adding a sensor setting for shared mailbox size to the Microsoft 365 mailbox sensor
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.

Add a setting field for a TSIG key to the DNS v2 sensor
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.

Dynamic File Content Monitoring
As a system administrator using PRTG,
I want to configure a file content sensor using simple date placeholders or regex patterns to automatically find the correct log file each day,
so that monitoring dynamic log files becomes straightforward and less time-consuming.4 votes
