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.

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

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.

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…

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.

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.

Windows Update Sensor, which tracks all Windows updates
As a Systems Engineer, I want the Windows Updates Status sensor to detect and report all installed Windows updates — regardless of whether they were deployed via Windows Update Agent, WSUS, SCCM/MECM, manual installation, or any other software distribution method — so that I can have a single, reliable view of the patch status of my Windows systems and ensure compliance without needing to cross-reference multiple tools. The current Windows Update sensor only tracks updates installed by the Windows Update Agent. Updates installed manually or via software distribution are not tracked. The sensor should be expanded to track all installed…

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.

HPE and Synology Sensor Support on the Multi-Platform Probe
As a Systems Engineer,
I want to be able to use HPE ProLiant and Synology NAS sensors on the multi-platform probe,
so that I can monitor my HPE server hardware and Synology storage devices from Linux-based or containerized probe environments without depending on a Windows remote probe.1 vote -
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.

HPE VM Essentials (VME) Cluster Monitoring Sensor
As an IT Infrastructure Manager,
I want native PRTG sensors for HPE VM Essentials (VME) clusters that monitor cluster health, host performance, VM status, and resource utilization,
so that I can maintain unified visibility across my virtualization environment after migrating away from VMware, without relying on manual custom sensor configurations.1 vote -
Native Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) Sensor for Improved Resource Pressure Monitoring
As a Systems Engineer managing Linux server infrastructure with PRTG, I want a native Linux PSI sensor that reads CPU, memory, and I/O pressure stall metrics directly from /proc/pressure/, so that I can accurately detect resource contention, identify performance bottlenecks earlier, and replace fragile custom SSH script workarounds with a standardized, maintainable monitoring solution.
Many organizations using PRTG rely on the built-in SNMP Linux Load Average sensor to monitor system load on Linux servers. While this works for basic monitoring, the traditional load average metric has well-known limitations: it only reflects the number of runnable or waiting tasks and does…
