  1. As a PRTG user, I want to monitor individual temperature readings from any Redfish-compliant server (HPE, Dell, Lenovo, Supermicro, etc.) — one sensor instance per temperature probe — so that I get granular thermal visibility and per-sensor alerting.

  2. As a Systems Engineer/IT Administrator, I want to use PowerShell 7 as the execution environment for PRTG custom sensors so that I can leverage modern PowerShell features, improve script performance, and eliminate compatibility workarounds in my monitoring solutions.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. As a sysadmin I would like to see the stratum level as integer in the SNTP sensor. That way I can set limits/alerts on it when the required stratum level is not reached.

    The correct stratum level is important for synchronisation of time on different machines.

  8. 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.
