We support a lot of Cisco equipment that authenticates and and provides accounting information through TACACS servers (as opposed to RADIUS servers).

Are there any plans to add a sensor for TACACS servers?

We do not have immediate plans for TACACS, but we have it on the wishlist for future versions.

FWIW, I am also interested in the availability of a tacacs sensor.

Hello John,

we thank you for your post but I'm afraid that there has been very little feedback regarding TACACS and TACACS+, it is unlikely that we'll ever develop a sensor for this niche/protocol. Alternatively, you may consider writing a custom sensor via script or exe and integrating the sensor with PRTG.

Best Regards,
