Granular Control for Maintenance Windows: "Full Pause" vs. "Trigger-Only Pause" (Suppress Notifications, Keep Polling)
As a Systems Engineer, I want the option to pause only notifications/triggers during a maintenance window while sensors continue polling and recording data, so that I have full data continuity during maintenance windows while completely preventing alarm fatigue for the operations team.
Description:
Currently, pausing an object halts all sensor checks completely. In many enterprise scenarios, engineers still want PRTG to gather performance data and display status checks during maintenance, but suppress active alerting/notifications.
Default Behavior: Full Object Pause (Standard behavior: stops polling and data collection).
New Option (Checkbox): "Pause Notifications / Triggers Only"
When checked, sensors continue polling, updating…4 votes -
Maintenance Windows: Centralized Downtime Manager / Interactive Planner with Multi-Object & Recurring Scheduling
As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want a unified view to plan and manage all maintenance windows across all objects — including multi-object and recurring schedules — so that I have organization-wide visibility and can coordinate maintenance without configuring each object individually.
Description:
Following the great design direction of the new GUI (such as centralized Device Template / Auto-Discovery management and Dependency management), Downtimes should also be managed from a unified view.
Dedicated Calendar / Matrix View: A central dashboard listing all upcoming, active, and past scheduled maintenance windows across all objects (Sensors, Devices, Groups, Probes).
Multi-Object Scheduling: Ability to…3 votes -
Maintenance Windows - Scheduling Future Downtimes
As a Systems Engineer, I want to schedule future maintenance windows in the new Web GUI by defining precise start and end dates/times, so that objects pause automatically during planned work without me having to pause them manually at the start of the window.
Description:
With the evolution of the new PRTG Web GUI and API v2, managing maintenance windows needs a modern overhaul. In the classic interface, users had basic scheduled downtime settings ("from... to..."). Currently, the new Web GUI only allows immediate pausing (either manually indefinitely or with pre-set durations like 5m, 30m, 1h), lacking future scheduling capabilities…3 votes -
Disable Auto-Updates for PRTG Desktop during Installation
As a Systems Engineer deploying PRTG Desktop to multiple clients via Microsoft Intune, I want to disable the auto-update feature machine-wide through a command-line flag during (silent) installation, so that all deployed installations comply with our internal patch approval process from first launch, without manual per-client or per-user configuration.
Background:
We are installing PRTG Desktop on multiple Clients using Microsoft Intune. Since we need to approve every patch seperately, we need to disable automatic updates. It would really help us to be able to set a flag during Installation so that the auto update feature is disabled from the beginning.1 vote
