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…

Adding a sensor setting for shared mailbox size to the Microsoft 365 mailbox sensor
As an IT Network Administrator, I want the Microsoft 365 Mailbox sensor to display mailbox size in MB/GB and usage percentage against quota limits so that I can proactively alert on approaching capacity limits and prevent shared mailbox outages that disrupt business operations.

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.

Support for Monitoring NetApp ASA r2 and AFX Systems in PRTG
As a Storage Administrator
I want PRTG to support monitoring of the new NetApp ONTAP-based systems ASA r2 and AFX
So that I can ensure full visibility and performance tracking of these devices within our existing monitoring environment.Context & Details
NetApp recently introduced two new ONTAP-based platforms:ASA r2: All-Flash SAN Array optimized for block storage.
AFX: High-performance NAS/S3 system designed for AI/ML workloads.Both systems leverage the ONTAP REST API but include specific changes and new endpoints:
ASA r2 introduces endpoints like /api/storage/storage-units and /api/storage/block-volumes for LUNs and NVMe namespaces, and recommends OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
AFX removes…

Developer API for creating SNMP sensors
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.

Enhanced Windows Update Sensor with Time-Based Criticality Tracking
As a System Administrator responsible for security compliance, I want to see how long Windows updates of different criticality levels have been available so that I can prioritize patching efforts based on both severity and exposure duration, ensuring compliance requirements are met and security risks are minimized.

Zerto Analytics Portal Integration for DRaaS Protection Monitoring
As an IT Infrastructure Manager responsible for disaster recovery operations,
I want PRTG to integrate with the Zerto Analytics portal to monitor Virtual Protection Groups (VPGs), their size, RPO compliance, and replication health,
so that I can proactively detect drift in DRaaS protection, ensure business continuity compliance, and receive alerts when disaster recovery SLAs are at risk—all from within my unified PRTG monitoring dashboard.1 vote -
Dell PowerStore Storage Sensors
As an IT Infrastructure Manager migrating from Dell EMC Unity to Dell PowerStore storage systems, I want native PRTG sensors for PowerStore monitoring (equivalent to current Unity sensors) plus dedicated replication health monitoring, so that I can maintain comprehensive storage visibility without manual REST API configuration.
PRTG has a lot of useful sensors for the Dell EMC Unity storage, which we are glad to have. Unfortunately Dell announced their end of sale in August 2025 and for the first hardware generation their end of service in July 2026.
The successor to Unity is the PowerStore storage system. Unfortunately the only…

Stratum level channel for the SNTP Sensor
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.7 votes -
Implement GCP (Google Cloud) Monitoring Sensors with Azure-equivalent Functionality
As a Cloud/ DevOps engineer, I want to have sensors for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) similar to those available for Azure, so that I can monitor and manage my GCP infrastructure with the same level of visibility and control that I have for Azure environments.

Flexible Channel Selection for Citrix XenServer Host Sensor
As a System Engineer monitoring large-scale Citrix XenServer environments,
I want the ability to selectively choose which channels to monitor in the Citrix XenServer Host sensor (e.g., specific CPU cores and hardware components),
so that I can reduce sensor complexity, improve performance, and maintain a clear overview when monitoring systems with 200+ CPU cores without being overwhelmed by hundreds of unnecessary channels.1 vote -
XOA/XCP-ng Sensor
As an IT Infrastructure Manager migrating from VMware to XCP-ng, I want native PRTG sensors for XCP-ng hosts and XOA management so that I can maintain comprehensive virtualization monitoring without losing visibility or requiring custom development work during and after migration.

WMI Service sensor
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.
