In addition to the built-in sensors, you can create your own sensors. You can write a script or a program and use it with a custom sensor. There are already many free, useful scripts, plugins, and add-ons for PRTG in the PRTG Sensor Hub. You can also directly open the PRTG Sensor Hub from the Add Sensor dialog in the PRTG web interface.
To use the sensors in the PRTG Sensor Hub, go to https://www.paessler.com/sensor-hub and follow the instructions there.
