  1. 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.

  2. 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): None

    Since PRTG does not support authNoPriv, monitoring such devices is currently impossible.

  3. 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.
