Dynamic sensor assignment to Business Process channels via tags
As a Systems Engineer managing a large or frequently changing PRTG environment, I want to define a sensor tag as a dynamic filter for a Business Process channel, so that sensors are automatically added to or removed from the channel when their tags change — eliminating manual reconfiguration of Business Process Sensors every time the environment changes.
Background:
Business Process Sensor configurations are currently largely static. Sensors have to be manually assigned to individual Business Process channels.
For larger PRTG environments, it would be very useful to have the option to dynamically populate Business Process channels based on sensor tags.…1 vote -
Bulk-add sensors to Business Process channels (multi-select & ID list)
As a Systems Engineer setting up Business Process Sensors with many underlying sensors, I want to add multiple sensors to a BP channel in one operation — via multi-select in the device tree or by pasting a list of sensor IDs — so that I can configure large Business Processes in minutes instead of adding each of e.g. 50 sensors individually.
Background:
When configuring a Business Process Sensor, sensors currently have to be added one by one, either by entering the sensor ID or by selecting each sensor individually from the Device Tree.
This becomes extremely time-consuming when a Business…1 vote -
Show full object context (probe → device → sensor) in Business Process channel sensor lists
As a Systems Engineer validating or troubleshooting a Business Process Sensor configuration, I want the list of assigned sensors per channel to display the full object path (probe, device, sensor name, sensor ID, and optionally sensor status) with sorting and filtering, so that I can immediately identify which sensor belongs to which device without looking up each sensor ID individually.
Background:
When configuring a Business Process (BP) Sensor, the objects assigned to a channel are currently displayed mainly by sensor name and sensor ID. For larger Business Process Sensors, this makes it difficult to see which device and probe a…1 vote -
More Essential Sensors for the Multi-Platform Probe on Linux
As a Systems Engineer running PRTG multi-platform probes on Linux in environments without Windows probe systems, I want more essential sensors, for example, native NTP/SNTP and LDAP(S) sensors to be available on the multi-platform probe,
so that I can monitor time synchronization and directory service availability — two services critical for authentication and infrastructure health — directly from my Linux probes, without maintaining a Windows remote probe or building custom script workarounds.1 vote -
Proxmox Credential Placeholders for Custom Script Sensors
As a Systems Engineer monitoring Proxmox hypervisors with both native PRTG sensors and custom EXE/Script Advanced (PowerShell) sensors, I want the device-level "Credentials for Proxmox" fields (API Token ID, Secret, Port) to be available as placeholders (e.g., %proxmoxtokenid, %proxmoxtokensecret, %proxmoxport) in my script parameters, so that I maintain the API token in one single place and token rotation no longer requires redundant, error-prone updates across two credential sections.
Background:
We heavily rely on Custom EXE/Script Advanced Sensors (PowerShell) to monitor our hypervisors for specific metrics, like aging snapshots. While migrating to Proxmox, we noticed that we cannot pass the newly…1 vote -
DNSSEC Sensor
As an operator of security‑critical DNS infrastructure, I want a native PRTG sensor that monitors DNSSEC signature status and trust chain integrity for my DNS zones, so that I can detect issues such as missing DS records, expiring signatures, or failed validation before they impact production.
Therefore, a sensor must check the following DNSSEC components:
AD flag (validation status)
Presence of RRSIG records and their signature expiration time (warn if remaining time is low!)
Count of DNSKEY records including KSK (257) and ZSK (256)
Count of DS records in the parent zone (=0 is error)
Trust chain consistency (DS ->…1 vote -
Redfish Fan State sensor
As a PRTG user, I want a single sensor per server (HPE, Dell, Lenovo, Supermicro, etc.) that monitors all fans via Redfish, so that I get a consolidated view of fan health and speeds without cluttering my device tree with one sensor per fan.

Proxy Support for SSL Certificate Sensor
As an IT Infrastructure Manager operating PRTG in a network without direct internet access,
I want the SSL Certificate sensor to natively support the HTTP proxy settings configured on the parent device,
so that I can monitor the SSL/TLS certificates of external websites through our proxy — just like I already can with HTTP-based sensors — without needing to rely on a separate monitoring tool.Background: We are using PRTG without direct internet access. With the proxy setting of the device we can monitor a HTTPS website, but not the SSL certificate of that site. That is a problem for…

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…

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 -
