  1. VMware Snapshot Monitoring Sensor

    As an IT administrator managing VMware infrastructure, I would like a dedicated sensor to monitor virtual machine snapshots in PRTG, so that I can proactively detect and remediate snapshot-related issues before they cause performance degradation or storage outages.

  2. Enable Auto-Acknowledge for Ping v2 Sensor Alerts

    As an IT Infrastructure Manager managing a large-scale monitoring environment,
    I want the ability to enable automatic acknowledgment of alerts on Ping v2 sensors,
    so that I can use Ping sensors for lightweight availability tracking and state logging without being burdened by a high volume of alerts that require manual acknowledgment.

    Background:
    In the legacy Ping sensors, there was a feature that allowed automatic acknowledgment of alerts (auto-ack).
    We use Ping sensors across a large number of devices primarily for visibility. They act as a lightweight form of logging and state tracking.
    Notifications are still triggered as needed, but we…

  3. 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.

  4. 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…
