Custom Sensor - add new tag for Value Mode of Channels
As a system administrator I use several custom sensors. For add new channels, the Value Mode can not be defined in custom sensor script e.g. powershell.
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensorsPlease add a new tag "ValueMode" with Average/Minimum/Maximum

Enhanced Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLC Monitoring Sensors
As a Network Engineer, I want comprehensive, out-of-the-box sensors for the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller — covering SSID status, per-SSID client counts, per-SSID traffic, WLC high-availability status, and disk space — so that I can proactively manage my wireless infrastructure without relying on manual CLI checks or custom workarounds.

SNMP Interface Traffic Sensor with ifLastChange Channel for Interface Flapping Detection
As a Network Engineer managing critical network infrastructure, I want the SNMP Interface Traffic sensor to include an 'Interface Last Change' channel that monitors the ifLastChange timestamp, so that I can detect interface flapping and instability without having to create separate custom sensors for each interface or rely on SNMP traps.

Native Support for Sensors with Client Certificate Authentication
As a Systems Engineer monitoring secure enterprise services, I want built-in HTTP/HTTPS sensors to support client certificate authentication (mutual TLS), so that I can monitor certificate-protected administrative interfaces, APIs, and customer portals without having to create and maintain custom scripts for each endpoint.
In secure environments, many web-based services—especially administrative interfaces, APIs, and customer portals—are only accessible via HTTPS with client certificate authentication. These URLs cannot be accessed using standard HTTP/HTTPS sensors in PRTG, as there is currently no way to specify a client certificate and private key.
Currently, the only workaround is to use custom scripts (e.g., PowerShell or…

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): NoneSince PRTG does not support authNoPriv, monitoring such devices is currently impossible.

Scheduled tasks sensor
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/

OCSP Support for SSL Certificate Monitoring Without CRL Dependency
As a Systems Engineer responsible for monitoring SSL/TLS certificates,
I want PRTG's SSL Certificate sensor (and related sensors) to support OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) as a standalone certificate revocation verification method,
so that I can accurately monitor certificate validity and revocation status even when the Certificate Authority no longer provides a CRL (Certificate Revocation List), avoiding false alerts or "Unable to Check Revocation Status" warnings that undermine the reliability of my monitoring setup.2 votes -
Docker sensor
As a sysadmin or developer I would like to get metrics on the health and performance of the containers within a single Docker runtime so that I can monitor the health of the containers.

Kubernetes Sensor
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.
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…

HTTP Data Advanced Sensor Placeholder Support
As a Systems Engineer, I want HTTP Data Advanced sensors to support placeholders in URL, POST body, and custom headers fields, so that I can centrally manage sensitive credentials and API configurations while maintaining security best practices and reducing sensor configuration complexity.

Enhance RADIUS v2 Sensor to comply with RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator
As a Network Engineer, I want the RADIUS v2 sensor to support RFC 3579 Message-Authenticator validation so that I can monitor RADIUS servers with enhanced security and ensure authentication packet integrity in my network infrastructure. The client (PRTG Sensor) computes the hash (HMAC-MD5) from its own packet and then adds the attribute as a signature to the request. This is required for secure implementations of RADIUS.

Enhanced SNMP Interface Speed Monitoring with Built-in ifSpeed Channels
As a Network Engineer, I want to monitor interface speeds (ifSpeed) as additional channels in SNMP Traffic sensors so that I can detect speed mismatches, auto-negotiation failures, and hardware issues without creating multiple custom sensors for each interface.

HPE VM Essentials (VME) Cluster Monitoring Sensor
As an IT Infrastructure Manager,
I want native PRTG sensors for HPE VM Essentials (VME) clusters that monitor cluster health, host performance, VM status, and resource utilization,
so that I can maintain unified visibility across my virtualization environment after migrating away from VMware, without relying on manual custom sensor configurations.1 vote -
Turn two devices into one - unifying PRTG device credential
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…

Local Time-Based Sensor Scheduling
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to schedule PRTG sensors to run at specific times using our local system time (not UTC), so that I can align monitoring activities with our business hours, maintenance windows, and operational schedules without having to calculate time zone conversions.

Native Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) Sensor for Improved Resource Pressure Monitoring
As a Systems Engineer managing Linux server infrastructure with PRTG, I want a native Linux PSI sensor that reads CPU, memory, and I/O pressure stall metrics directly from /proc/pressure/, so that I can accurately detect resource contention, identify performance bottlenecks earlier, and replace fragile custom SSH script workarounds with a standardized, maintainable monitoring solution.
Many organizations using PRTG rely on the built-in SNMP Linux Load Average sensor to monitor system load on Linux servers. While this works for basic monitoring, the traditional load average metric has well-known limitations: it only reflects the number of runnable or waiting tasks and does…

Native Podman Container Monitoring Sensor
As a Systems Engineer managing containerized workloads across different operating systems and environments, I want a dedicated Podman container monitoring sensor in PRTG so that I can monitor the health, status, resource usage, and uptime of my Podman containers, with the same depth and ease that the existing Docker sensor provides for Docker environments.
