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.

SQL sensor cluster awareness
As a database administrator I want to monitor my SQL servers that are part of a cluster avoiding false positives due to cluster failover or health. If a failover happens PRTG and the SQL sensors should be aware of it so that I can get the right notification and not be overwhelmed by notifications

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 voteHi there,

VEEAM 13 Backupjob Status Sensor
With the integration of VEEAM version 13, it is no longer possible to use the existing “backup job status sensors,” and you have to go to the trouble of building your own custom sensors to interact with PowerShell 7, which is only partially supported by PRTG. Native VEEAM sensors would be desirable here again.

Granular Monitoring for Individual Azure Storage Services
As a Cloud Infrastructure Manager,
I want the ability to monitor individual storage services (Blob, File, Queue, Table) within an Azure Storage Account separately, in addition to the overall account-level metrics,
so that I can set specific alerts and thresholds for each storage type, quickly identify which specific storage service is experiencing issues, and ensure more effective and targeted monitoring of my Azure storage infrastructure.1 vote -
Adaptive Sensor Scanning Intervals Based on Threshold Breaches
As a Systems Engineer managing critical infrastructure, I want sensors to automatically switch to a higher sampling rate (down sampling interval) when a predefined threshold is exceeded, and revert to normal interval once the condition clears. This feature could be optionally combined with the existing "Unusual Detection" capability for intelligent, context-aware monitoring.
Currently, PRTG sensors operate at a fixed scanning interval regardless of the monitored value's state. This means that during critical events (threshold breaches, performance degradation, outages), we capture data at the same granularity as during normal operations—missing valuable diagnostic information precisely when we need it most.
Proposed behavior:

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.

Local Time-Based Sensor Scheduling
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to schedule PRTG sensors to run at specific times using our local system time (not UTC), so that I can align monitoring activities with our business hours, maintenance windows, and operational schedules without having to calculate time zone conversions.

Allow Creation of LUN v2 Sensors When the LUN’s Comment Metadata is Empty
As a Storage Administrator, I want to add and monitor LUNs with an empty or unset comment field using the LUN v2 sensor in PRTG, so that monitoring coverage is not blocked by optional metadata and I can ensure complete visibility and SLAs across all storage volumes.
Problem / Context:
In many storage environments, the comment/description attribute of a LUN is optional and frequently left blank (e.g., when provisioned by automation or 3rd‑party workflows).
When I attempt to add a LUN v2 sensor for such a LUN, PRTG fails with the error: “Das abgefragte Feld comment ist leer.” (“The queried…1 vote -
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…

Enhanced sFlow Sensor Support for GRE (IP Protocol 47) Traffic
As a Network Engineer monitoring network infrastructures with GRE tunneling, I want the sFlow sensor to sample GRE (IP protocol 47) traffic so that I can gain complete visibility into all network traffic flows, including tunneled traffic. Currently, PRTG sFlow sensor only samples UDP and TCP traffic.

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 Push Data Advanced Sensor: Graceful Resume from Paused Maintenance Windows
As a Systems Engineer managing servers with outbound-only connectivity, I want HTTP Push Data Advanced sensors to gracefully resume monitoring after maintenance windows by using the most recent push data received during the pause, so that I don't get false alarms and can maintain accurate monitoring continuity during planned maintenance.

Enhanced SSH Disk Free Sensor Threshold Management with "ANY Partition" Option and Group-Level Sensor-Specific Triggers
As a Systems Engineer managing multiple servers with multiple disk volumes, I want to configure disk space threshold triggers that apply to ANY partition across servers in a group so that I can efficiently monitor disk space without spending weeks manually configuring individual partition thresholds.

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.1 vote
