Overview of what's new in version 22.4.81

  • We hardened PRTG against XSS attacks
  • You can try out the experimental Ping v2 sensor that comes with a new setting for inverted error status
  • You can try out the experimental HTTP v2 sensor that allows you to send HTTP requests and use placeholders
  • Various fixes and improvements for all parts of PRTG

Let's jump into the details:

Experimental: Ping v2 sensor

With this release we introduce the experimental Ping v2 sensor. This sensor keeps the basic settings of the Ping v1 sensor and additionally has a new setting Inverted Error Status. The sensor shows a Down status if the target device is reachable when you enable this setting during sensor creation. This was only possible using a Custom sensor before.

Experimental: HTTP v2 sensor

The experimental HTTP v2 sensor that we introduce with this PRTG version allows you to send a HTTP request (HEAD, GET or POST) to a target URL and use placeholders, similar to the REST Custom v2 sensor.

i Both sensor types were rewritten to work on the Multi-Platform Probe that we first announced with PRTG version 21.4.73.1656. Have a look here if you want to know more about the Multi-Platform Probe:

... and much more

We also have several important fixes in this version for issues reported with previous versions. The CPU load on the PRTG server will stay on normal levels again even with stale remote probe connections. the FTP sensor works with connections to TLS-only ports again. We fixed an access violation that HTTP Push sensors showed in cases when port 5051 was used for an HTTPS connection with TLS. And, we adapted the Zoom Service Status sensor to changes to Zoom that resulted in channels displayed multiple times.
