Microsoft Exchange Certificate Status Monitoring Sensor
As a Systems Engineer responsible for Microsoft Exchange servers,
I want a native PRTG sensor that can automatically monitor the status and expiration of Microsoft Exchange SMTP certificates (the default self-signed certificate used for internal server-to-server encryption (opportunistic TLS), and a separate "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" used for server-to-server authentication (OAuth)),
so that I can proactively detect certificate expiration or validity issues before they cause email delivery failures, authentication problems, or security vulnerabilities in my Exchange environment.Similar requests in the past:

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 -
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

HTTP Data Advanced Sensor - Historical Debug Data Retention
As a Systems Engineer, I want to retain multiple historical debug results, when the option "Result Handling -> Store result" is enabled in the HTTP Data Advanced sensor settings, so that I can compare different responses over time without losing debugging information between sensor scans. For now only the last result is stored.

Keyword detection on O365 sensor
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.

Support for sensor templates (same common settings for same sensor types)
As a PRTG admin deploying multiple sensors we must make manual adjustments after auto discovery we would like to use a template to apply defaults similar to device templates so that we could reduce the manual effort the team does today.

Prometheus sensor which can scrape prometheus exporters
As a syadmin who is a current Prometheus user I would like to get metrics from Prometheus exporters so that I can have my metrics in PRTG along with my other infrastructure data.
Ideally I could also scrape these from other Prometheus compatible endpoints such as the OpenTelemetry collector.

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…1 vote -
