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 -
Tag support in Sensor Factory
As a PRTG admin setting up sensors using Sensor Factory we have the need to dynamically update sensors using the API to add tagging to aggregate upstream traffic across links so that I can have the right data for monitoring and reporting purposes due to constant changes in our network.

Support for Monitoring NetApp ASA r2 and AFX Systems in PRTG
As a Storage Administrator
I want PRTG to support monitoring of the new NetApp ONTAP-based systems ASA r2 and AFX
So that I can ensure full visibility and performance tracking of these devices within our existing monitoring environment.Context & Details
NetApp recently introduced two new ONTAP-based platforms:ASA r2: All-Flash SAN Array optimized for block storage.
AFX: High-performance NAS/S3 system designed for AI/ML workloads.Both systems leverage the ONTAP REST API but include specific changes and new endpoints:
ASA r2 introduces endpoints like /api/storage/storage-units and /api/storage/block-volumes for LUNs and NVMe namespaces, and recommends OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
AFX removes…

Dell PowerStore Storage Sensors
As an IT Infrastructure Manager migrating from Dell EMC Unity to Dell PowerStore storage systems, I want native PRTG sensors for PowerStore monitoring (equivalent to current Unity sensors) plus dedicated replication health monitoring, so that I can maintain comprehensive storage visibility without manual REST API configuration.
PRTG has a lot of useful sensors for the Dell EMC Unity storage, which we are glad to have. Unfortunately Dell announced their end of sale in August 2025 and for the first hardware generation their end of service in July 2026.
The successor to Unity is the PowerStore storage system. Unfortunately the only…

Add Numeric Value Extraction to SNMP Custom String v2 Sensor
As a Network Engineer, I want the SNMP Custom String v2 Sensor to support Numeric Value Extraction (just like the legacy SNMP Custom String Sensor), so that I can extract and log numeric values from SNMP string responses (e.g., '25C') and use them for graphing, alerting, and trend analysis in PRTG.
2 votesGood news! This feature is already available in the PRTG Preview version 26.2.119.1641. You can find more details in the preview release notes. It will also be included in the upcoming stable release version 120.

Enhanced Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC Monitoring Sensors
As a Network Engineer, I want comprehensive, out-of-the-box sensors for the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller — covering SSID status, per-SSID client counts, per-SSID traffic, WLC high-availability status, and disk space — so that I can proactively manage my wireless infrastructure without relying on manual CLI checks or custom workarounds.

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.2 votes -
Implement GCP (Google Cloud) Monitoring Sensors with Azure-equivalent Functionality
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.

HTTP Data Advanced Sensor - Historical Debug Data Retention
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.

SNMP Trap Receiver sensor can persist its state
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 trapsAcceptance 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.2 votes -
Minute-Level Email Filtering for IMAP Sensor
As a PRTG user, I need to filter emails monitored by the IMAP sensor in minute intervals (e.g., "last 5 minutes" instead of "last 1 hour"). This will allow me to achieve greater granularity and detect critical, time-sensitive email notifications (like system alerts or transaction confirmations) much faster.
Caveat: Implementing minute-level filtering will likely increase the load and resource consumption on the PRTG probe and core server due to more frequent and potentially more intensive checks.

Modbus/TCP sensor: Allow Unit ID 0
Currently the Modbus/TCP sensor does not allow to use the unit ID 0.
My current workaround for this limitation is using a Python script which is however more resource consuming and greater effort to setup than a standard Modbus/TCP sensor.1 voteHi there,
