  1. As a network administrator managing multiple similar devices, I want to modify existing device templates by adding new sensors or adjusting thresholds directly in the web interface, so that I can maintain consistent monitoring standards without recreating templates from scratch every time requirements change.

  2. As a PRTG admin, I want to apply discovery/sensor templates to tag‑based groups and optionally enable device recognition, so I can precisely target devices, avoid resource waste, and reduce cleanup.

  3. As a PRTG user, I want discovery and port workflows to detect the services a device offers (e.g., HTTP/S, LDAP/S, SSH, SNMP, databases) and automatically add the most relevant sensors with sensible defaults—so setup is faster and cleanup is minimal.

  4. As a PRTG user, I want to securely save my credentials (e.g., accounts, passwords, SNMP keys) in one place so I can easily reuse them for any discovery job.

  5. As a system engineer, I want to set rules (e.g., exclude certain devices or sensors) and review changes before they’re applied so I can avoid unnecessary cleanup and keep my monitoring focused.

  6. As a system engineer, I want a single place to manage and schedule all my discovery jobs so that I can save time and avoid conflicts with other network tasks.

  7. As a PRTG user, I want auto discovery templates to apply the same default schedule, dependency, and maintenance window settings as manual device creation, so that I can deploy monitoring consistently without requiring manual post-configuration steps.

    The default behaviour when manually adding a device without a template is for the “schedules, dependencies and maintenance window “ option to be toggled on however when using an auto discovery template this is toggled off. This behaviour is not intuitive and requires manual intervention after using a template to ensure this is toggled on.

  8. As a Systems Engineer monitoring dynamic cloud environments, I want an option in auto-discovery groups to automatically delete all existing devices before creating new ones during each discovery run,
    so that I can maintain a clean, accurate monitoring configuration without manually removing obsolete devices or duplicates (like Azure VMs that are deleted and recreated with new names/IPs) after each discovery cycle.

  9. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to use Auto-Discovery with Custom Templates, that would provide the ability to select a set of specifics sensors for determined device type (including icons), in addition this would give the ability to customize sensors channel settings. Example: uptime parameters.

  10. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want PRTG to automatically add Cisco Meraki Network Health sensors for new networks discovered in my Meraki Dashboard without requiring manual API key entry for each sensor, so that I can ensure comprehensive monitoring coverage across hundreds of networks while eliminating repetitive configuration tasks that don't scale with our rapid network deployment schedule.

    Currently, there appears to be no way to have any new networks in Meraki Dashboard to be auto-discovered and added automatically to the Cisco Meraki Network Health.

    When we create a new network in Meraki, we need to manually add it…

  11. As a PRTG user, I want to search for and reuse my discovery templates quickly so I don’t waste time scrolling through long lists.
