The last PRTG release for 2024 is now available in the stable channel! This release includes the new SNMP Disk Free v2 and WMI Microsoft SQL Server 2022 sensors. It also introduces the experimental SNMP UPS Status, SSH Meminfo v2, SSH Load Average v2, and SSH Remote Ping v2 sensors, along with updates to the German and Spanish language files.
Here are the details:
New sensors in PRTG
*️⃣ SNMP Disk Free v2 sensor
The SNMP Disk Free v2 sensor is now fully supported. Initially introduced as an experimental sensor in version 23.3.86, this sensor allows you to monitor the free disk space on logical drives using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
*️⃣ WMI Microsoft SQL Server 2022 sensor
To support Microsoft SQL Server as of version 2022, this new sensor monitors server performance via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). If you’re running SQL Server 2022, this sensor helps ensure smooth performance and quick issue resolution.
Experimental sensors
*️⃣ SNMP UPS Status sensor
This sensor lets you monitor the status of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) via SNMP, with channels such as Battery Status, Charge Remaining, Current Load, and Estimated Time Remaining.
*️⃣ SSH Meminfo v2 sensor
Monitor memory usage on Linux/Unix systems with the experimental SSH Meminfo v2 sensor. Get insights into available memory (bytes) and percent available memory. Please note: macOS distributions are not supported.
*️⃣ SSH Load Average v2 sensor
Keep an eye on system load averages over 1, 5, and 15-minute intervals with the experimental SSH Load Average v2 sensor. This is ideal for monitoring Linux/Unix systems via Secure Shell (SSH).
*️⃣ SSH Remote Ping v2 sensor
Check connectivity between Linux/macOS systems and other devices using the SSH Remote Ping v2 sensor. This experimental sensor measures average response times, maximum response times and packet loss.
Additional improvements and fixes
Version 24.4.102 includes updates for German and Spanish language files, several UI enhancements, and fixes for existing sensor types:
✅ Scale factor for custom sensors: You can now define a scale factor as integer or floating-point number for Custom Sensors (Modbus, OPC UA, and REST Custom v2 BETA) during sensor setup.
✅ Enhanced SNMP HPE ProLiant Physical Disk sensor: Additional status values for hot spare disks are now available.
✅ SSL Security Check sensor fix: An issue where TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 was incorrectly reported as "Denied" has been resolved.
Server-side updates and UI improvements
✅ API key token & SSO: If your PRTG instance is configured with a single sign-on (SSO) provider such as Entra or Okta, you can now seamlessly log in without requiring two-factor authentication after logging in through the provider's portal.
✅ Updated API for maptiles and geocoding:The API for maptiles and geocoding has been updated to incorporate changes from location service providers. In previous versions, you may have noticed that some geolocations in the "Location (for Geo Maps)" field didn't resolve correctly or maps didn't display. This also affected newly set geolocations, while the old API was no longer functional.
✅ Email notification fix: Sending email notifications with G Suite mailboxes using the built-in email server is now fully functional again.
✅ Custom HTML fixes for Maps: HTML changes in the "HTML Before" field now apply correctly.
The new UI also includes several improvements, including enhancements for context menus, monitoring. Also, the PRTG Ticket system is now available in the new UI.
For the classic UI, fixes include pagination in Maps and improved multi-edit functionality for SNMP credentials.
