Native PRTG Device Template for Siemens SCALANCE Industrial Switches
“We use Siemens SCALANCE switches in our OT networks. While PRTG can monitor them via generic SNMP, setup requires manual configuration and does not provide an optimized industrial template.
What we would like is a dedicated SCALANCE device template that automatically detects and configures relevant industrial monitoring sensors.
Desired functionality:
Switch Health & Hardware
CPU load
Memory usage
Temperature
Power supply status
Redundancy / ring status (MRP)
Port status overview
Industrial Network Diagnostics
Port errors (CRC, collisions, drops)
Link flaps
Bandwidth utilization per port
Industrial protocol traffic overview (if available)
OT-Specific Features
PROFINET diagnostics (if accessible via SNMP)
Ring topology…

Sensor for Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLC – Advanced Diagnostics & CPU Status
“I work in modern Siemens environments using S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs. We already use PRTG for IT and network monitoring, but for these newer PLCs we still lack deep, built-in diagnostic visibility.
Today, we mostly rely on ping, generic SNMP, or OPC UA workarounds. That tells us whether the PLC is reachable, but not what is actually happening inside the controller.
In real production environments, when a line stops or behaves unstable, we still have to open TIA Portal to check CPU state, diagnostic buffer, or hardware faults. This delays root cause analysis.
What I would like from PRTG for…

DNP3 monitoring in PRTG for monitor utility field devices (RTUs, IEDs, relays) directly without relying only on SCADA
“I work in an OT/SCADA environment where many of our critical field devices (RTUs, IEDs, reclosers, protection relays, substation controllers, etc.) communicate using DNP3. This includes both serial and IP-based DNP3 connections.
Right now, PRTG is great for monitoring our IT infrastructure and networks, but we cannot monitor many of our OT devices because they only support DNP3 or provide much better diagnostic/event information through DNP3 than through SNMP or Modbus.
What I would need from native DNP3 support in PRTG: 1. Read key data from DNP3 devices
2. Time‑stamped event monitoring,
3. Monitor reliability of field connections.

BACnet/IP support
As a facility manager, I want PRTG to support BACnet/IP and automatically discover BACnet devices (HVAC, energy meters, fire panels) so that I can centralize my building automation monitoring.

Industrial switch monitoring & template-based discovery
As an OT network engineer, I want PRTG to provide predefined monitoring templates for industrial switches (Siemens SCALANCE, Moxa, Hirschmann, Cisco Industrial) so that I can quickly onboard new devices and track switch performance.

S7 Sensor for Siemens S7-300/400 PLC-diagnostics.
“I work in Siemens-based environments where S7‑300 and S7‑400 PLCs are still critical for production. We already use PRTG successfully for IT and network monitoring, but for these legacy Siemens PLCs we can currently only monitor basic things like ping or generic SNMP.
That means:
We see that a PLC is reachable or not, but
We don’t see WHY it went into trouble (STOP, restarts, cycle time issues, hardware faults, battery, etc.)
In real incidents, we still have to open STEP 7 / TIA Portal or go on site to look at the diagnostic buffer and CPU status. This is…7 votes -
EtherNet/IP & CIP Sensor Development
As a Rockwell Automation customer, I would like PRTG to natively support EtherNet/IP and CIP monitoring so that I can monitor ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and Stratix switches without additional middleware.

Create tags from value in OPC-UA protocol
As an OT sysadmin who is using of OPC-UA advanced sensors I would like to use a value from a text value in OPC-UA and create a tag within PRTG so I can build more automation in my notification and visualization use cases.
