  2. As a PRTG admin I would like to collect SNMP v3 traps from my devices that support this extra security level. My company and/or customers demand this security step in order to be 100% compliant.

    Affected Application
    PRTG // PRTG Network Monitor // Sensors and Probe

    How does this improve your daily work?
    Hi we got several requests from customers who want to receive SNMPv3 Traps in PRTG.
    At the moment only v1 and v2c traps are possible to be received.

    Our customers request these so to get the software 100% BSI-compliant.
    Otherwise they're refraining from procuring the tool at…

  3. As a system administrator, I would like my physical devices to be represented in PRTG by a single virtual device in the UI to make things less confusing for me and my colleagues. Unfortunately, for certain devices and sensor technologies (MQTT, controller-managed devices), I need to create a second device in order to specify the address of the MQTT Broker or other "central" controller for sensor queries. Ideally, PRTG would allow the address of a device's controller to be defined in it's settings so that only one device is sufficient. Having one physical device mapped to one PRTG device would…

  5. 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.

  6. As an advanced user, I would like to use a framework in the form of a sensor API. This could be a Python library that allows me to use PRTG's internal SNMP stack with connection establishment, authentication, querying, etc., while also giving me the ability to build advanced SNMP sensors. This allows different OID trees to be combined in the code, which is not possible with SNMP custom sensors. This framework is intended to abstract the complexity of pure SNMP communication and allow developers to focus on logic and data processing.

  8. As a DevOps Engineer, I need a native PRTG sensor to monitor the health and performance of my custom applications running in Kubernetes, so that I can gain immediate, centralized visibility into their operational status, proactively identify issues at the cluster, pod, and application level, and ensure the continuous availability and performance of my services.

    1. Kubernetes-Aware Monitoring:

      • Ability to target and understand applications deployed via Kubernetes constructs (e.g., Deployments, Pods, Namespaces).
      • Provide insights into the overall health and status of application deployments (e.g., how many instances are running vs. expected).
      • Report on the status and lifecycle of individual application pods…

  11. As a Windows Admin using PRTG I need to be able to monitor my business processes running as scheduled tasks so that I can ensure my business processes are executing.

    Today this is done via external tools and managing them is not ideal. There was a deprecated sensor for this but nothing really took its place. See https://www.reddit.com/r/prtg/comments/1lececg/if_youre_using_scheduledtask2xmlexe_from_prtg/

    I have a couple of additional questions to make this more solid as we collect votes on this request :


    1. Which specific XCP-ng metrics are most critical for your monitoring needs?
    2. Do you need XOA-specific monitoring (backup jobs, user sessions) or primarily hypervisor metrics?

  17. User Story:
    As a Network Administrator managing critical infrastructure,
    I want SNMP Trap Receiver sensors to maintain persistent alarm states until problems are resolved,
    so that I don't miss critical issues that are only reported once via SNMP traps

    Acceptance Criteria:
    - SNMP Trap Receiver sensors can maintain error states until problems are actually resolved, not just until the next scan interval.
    - Users have multiple ways to clear persistent trap alarms (automatic clear traps, manual reset, or timeout).
    - The persistent state feature can be enabled/disabled to maintain compatibility with existing monitoring setups.

  19. 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.

  20. As a PRTG user I would like to use the O365 sensor to be able to detect when I get an email with specific text in the subject or body so that I can monitor other processes for errors which are sending emails to report errors. Also, there's currently no option "If No Email Matches the Above Filters" for the MS365 Mailbox sensor as in the IMAP sensor.
