Automatic Network Topology Mapping in PRTG
As a Network Engineer, I want PRTG to automatically generate and maintain a dynamic visual topology map of my network — including Layer 2 and Layer 3 relationships — directly from auto-discovery data, so that I can instantly understand the physical and logical structure of my environment, quickly identify the impact of failures, and share live network views through dashboards without relying on third-party tools.
What we're looking for:
- A dynamically generated topology map that updates as the network changes
- Integration with the existing Maps/Dashboards editor so topology views can be embedded in dashboards
- The ability to…11 votes -
Enhance PRTG Maps with Greater Customization and HTML5 Integration
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want advanced PRTG Maps with HTML5-based editing and dependency visualization, so that I can create professional-grade infrastructure diagrams that dynamically reflect real-time monitoring status.
The current PRTG Maps feature is powerful for quick visual dashboards, but it becomes challenging to build complex or customized diagrams for large environments. The existing interface is limited when aligning icons, linking elements, or visually representing dependencies between sensors, probes, and devices.
I propose extending the PRTG Maps functionality with:
Full HTML5-based editing and rendering, replacing the legacy map editor to allow smoother design, drag-and-drop alignment, and modern visuals.

Custom Icons for Groups
As an IT Infrastructure Manager,
I want to assign custom icons to groups (just like I can for devices/items),
so that I can visually distinguish grouped objects — such as pseudo-devices representing multi-NIC hosts — at a glance on dashboards and in the device tree, enabling faster identification and more intuitive navigation in large-scale environments.4 votes -
Status Filter for Maps: Option to Exclude "Unusual" Status from Map Views
As an IT Infrastructure Manager,
I want to be able to exclude or filter out the "Unusual" detection status from PRTG maps,
so that my 1st level support team can focus on actionable warnings and critical alarms without being overwhelmed by non-critical orange "Unusual" indicators — and I don't have to disable the Unusual Detection feature entirely for the whole organization.Background:
I'm introducing PRTG to our team and I've built some maps for them. Problem is that they also see the Unusual Detection status as well and we have lots of them. But these are not relevant for the…2 votes -
Add the ability to display bar graphs using PRTG
As a Systems Engineer, I want the ability to display current sensor values as a bar chart/graph (in addition to the existing time-series line graphs), so that I can quickly and clearly compare live values across multiple channels at a glance, especially when monitoring many similar metrics like disk space across multiple drives, and easily identify which items are approaching warning or error thresholds through color-coded bars.
I understand PRTG's main focus has been on displaying data over time, however I have noted on a few occasions that I would benefit from being able to show live sensor data in…

Export Library Display Data to CSV from PRTG Desktop
As a Network Engineer using PRTG Desktop for real-time bandwidth monitoring, I want to export the currently displayed library data (sorted by bandwidth or other criteria) to a timestamped CSV file or view expanded data on-screen, so that I can capture instant monitoring snapshots for analysis, reporting, troubleshooting documentation, or sharing with stakeholders without losing the valuable sorted/filtered view I've configured.
So I need either:
1) an "Exoprt" button that take all the displayed value and send them to csv file with timestamp
2) expand the data displayed into the empty scrren I circled in red in the attach file,…5 votes -
Library-Based Dashboard Components: Bulk Sensor Display from Libraries
As an IT Operations Manager,
I want to use my existing libraries as a data source for dashboard/map components,
so that I can efficiently visualize related sensors from across my entire monitoring infrastructure without having to manually add each sensor individually to my dashboards.We have created many libraries with sensors form all over the hierarchical tree and it would be very useful to present them in dashboards without having to manually add each sensor one by one.

HTML Reports Included in Email Body
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want scheduled PRTG reports to be embedded as HTML directly in the body of the email, rather than only attached as PDF files, so that I and my stakeholders can instantly review monitoring data without needing to download and open an attachment.

Extended Sensor Detail Display on Maps — Show Live Channel Data Without Click-Through
As an IT Infrastructure Manager,
I want to configure which sensor channels (e.g., live data, jitter, packet loss, and other key metrics beyond just "Average Ping Time" and "Downtime" in Cisco IP SLA Sensor) are displayed directly beneath a sensor object on a PRTG Map,
so that my team can monitor critical performance indicators at a glance on our NOC/overview maps without having to click into each individual sensor first.Background:
Wir nutzen den IP SLA Sensor für diverse externe Geräte. Diese Sensoren werden auf einer MAP dargestellt. Standardmäßig kann man auf der MAP nur die Informationen für "Durschnittliche Pingzeit"…1 vote -
Unified cross-probe device view (flat A–Z list across all probes)
When devices are distributed across multiple probes (as recommended by Paessler support for performance reasons), PRTG automatically organizes them in the Devices tab under their respective probe and group hierarchy. There is currently no way to display all devices of a given type (e.g. all Windows servers) in a single, flat, alphabetically sorted list that spans all probes.
The Libraries function does not solve this either: each library node only accepts one linked object, and creating multiple nodes simply recreates the same separated structure. Maps are a visual workaround but not a true list/table view with sorting, filtering and sensor…1 vote -
Multi-Core Dashboards: Better support for metrics and charts
Multi-Core Dashboards is currently focused on displaying status information for sensors, probes and groups in Grafana dashboards. While it is possible to export metrics today, the user experience could be improved:
- Create Grafana library panels with custom metrics
- more performant storage of metrics data

Sensor map element with channel selection
As a system administrator, I would like to use my sensors in a PRTG map and select the relevant channel, without having to duplicate the sensor and pin a different channel. Currently, the sensor map element only represents the main channel and does not allow me to select the channel I am most interested in. A new approach would increase flexibility and prevent duplicate sensor requests, which would put more strain on the system.

Dashboard Access for MSP Customers via DMZ
As an MSP, we manage multiple customers using a central PRTG core server, with each customer having their own probe reporting back to our core. For security reasons, we cannot allow customers direct access to our central core server from the internet or their networks.
We need a way to provide customers with read-only dashboard/map access to their own monitoring data without compromising the security of our central infrastructure.
Proposed Solution:
The ability to deploy a separate PRTG application server component with restricted permissions that can be installed in a DMZ or customer-accessible location. This component would:- Connect to the…

Dynamic Map Filtering with Variable Selectors
As a network administrator building reports and dashboards, I want to create maps with dynamic filtering capabilities using variable selectors (such as region dropdowns), so that I can maintain a single map that displays different subsets of my network infrastructure without having to create and manage multiple copies of the same map for each region or variable combination.

Map-Based Sensor Location Search and Navigation
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to search for sensors and immediately see which map(s) they appear on, so that I can quickly navigate to the relevant monitoring visualization without manually checking multiple maps, especially when troubleshooting issues or assessing the impact of network hierarchy changes.
For example, we might have about fifteen cards with around twenty sensors each. It would be useful to be able to quickly identify, through a search, which map a sensor for a piece of equipment is located on. Today, we need to go through all the maps and all their sensors to identify…

SLA Reporter: Dynamic placeholders in report names
PRTG SLA Reported setting has only fixed placeholder for Report Name under Report Settings. Hence the report name is always fixed irrespective of various schedule report names based on the usage and context. This leads to confusion as which report we get e-mail. Needs to have some dymanic placeholders or mechanism to set the report names either based on Filter / scheduled report names etc.

SLA Reporter: Improve filter creation dialog
When creating a filter in SLA Reporter, the user experience would be better if:
- It showed the number of sensors that were included in the defined filter criteria
- It was possible to select all matched sensors1 vote -
SLA Reporter: Allow combination of AND and OR in filters
Allow mixed AND and OR logic in PRTG SLA Reporter filter criteria, so users can build more flexible and precise SLA definitions.
Problem description:
The current SLA Reporter only supports using either AND or OR for all filter criteria. This limits real‑world use cases where mixed logic is required. For example. Citrix AND (Ping, Uptime). or (Windows AND Prod) AND (Ping, PingSensors).1 vote
