Proxy Support for SSL Certificate Sensor
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…

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…

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.

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 -
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.

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.

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.

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 -
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…

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…

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 -
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
