Auto‑Attach Relevant Sensors Based on Service Detection

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.

    Since auto-discovery or even post creation of a port sensor, could attempt to use openssl to get the SSL certificate of the port, be able to create a SSL Certificate sensor for the auto-discovery open port or for post created port sensors.

    As a systems administrator, I would like to use PRTG's autodiscovery feature to detect the network and its various protocol capabilities. The discovery mechanism should be more detailed, including username and password, to avoid triggering the SIEM system with random connection attempts.
