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 field ‘comment’ is empty.”)
This prevents onboarding of valid LUNs into monitoring solely because a non‑essential field is empty.
