  1. Organizations with existing Nagios/Icinga deployments have invested significant time and effort in configuring custom checks, plugins, and monitoring logic. Rather than recreating these checks in PRTG, they want to leverage their existing Nagios/Icinga check configurations and push the results directly into PRTG for centralized visibility and management.

    As a Systems Engineer with existing Nagios/Icinga monitoring infrastructure,
    I want a PRTG probe that can receive and process check results from my existing Nagios/Icinga checks,
    so that I can leverage my current monitoring investments and display all check results within PRTG's interface without having to recreate or duplicate my monitoring configurations.

  2. As an IT Infrastructure Manager, I want to deploy redundant remote probes that automatically replicate sensor configurations and provide seamless failover capabilities, so that I can ensure continuous monitoring coverage without manual intervention during probe outages and eliminate single points of failure in remote locations.

    In environments where uptime and monitoring continuity are critical — especially in OT and industrial networks — a single PRTG Remote Probe represents a potential single point of failure. Currently, if a probe goes offline, all sensors assigned to it immediately lose visibility until the probe is restored.

    I propose a High Availability (HA) Probe…

  3. As a PRTG Administrator, I want to be able to allow PRTG users in non-administrator groups the ability to download and install remote probes.

    We're an MSP with a wide variety of needs and technical staff, we've sought to develop PRTG groups in conjunction with SSO to better control access to our environment (admins, full control, read-only, etc.).

    During that process we discovered that only select users who are members of the 'Administrators' group - the same group with control over user accounts, groups, and setup settings - have the ability to download and install remote probes to set up…

  4. As a network administrator at a large company with multiple sub-divisions, I want to organize probes into hierarchical groups by division so that I can better manage and navigate our monitoring infrastructure.
    Division 1
    ├── Probe 1
    │ ├── Group 1
    │ │ ├── Device 1
    │ │ │ ├── Sensor 1
    │ │ │ └── Sensor 2
    │ │ └── Device 2
    │ └── Group 2
    ├── Probe 2
    └── Probe 3

    Division 2
    ├── Probe 1
    ├── Probe 2
    └── Probe 3

  5. User Story:
    As a Platform Engineer managing distributed Kubernetes infrastructure,
    I want to deploy PRTG Multi-Platform Probes natively within Kubernetes clusters
    so that I can ensure continuous network monitoring with high availability and reduced infrastructure complexity.

    Acceptance Criteria:
    - PRTG Multi-Platform Probes can be deployed as native Kubernetes resources (e.g., via Helm chart or Operator) without requiring Docker-specific host capabilities.
    - The deployed probes support high availability and auto-recovery.
    - All core probe monitoring features are functional and compatible when running inside Kubernetes, matching the capabilities available on standard Docker or VM-based deployments.

  6. As a PRTG admin I want to know what sensor types are on each probe. For example if there are heavy probes like WMI running I have a more limited capacity on the probe so having the count would be helpful so that I can manage probe capacity (could be an addition to the PRTG Status page /status.htm?tabid=1).

  7. As a DevOps engineer who is user of OpenTelemetry and PRTG I would like to be able to send metrics and events from the Otel collector to PRTG (OTLP) so that I can have my monitoring and observability data in one tool.
