Get HTML
Your PRTG map is like a standalone HTML page. You can make it accessible to others, if you like. Depending on the Public Access
1806
of your map, a visitor will need to provide
PRTG user account login data to view the map, or will see the map immediately using a URL containing a secret key. When using this unique key, you can also include your map on another webpage, embedding it via <iframe> .
§ Opt ion 1: Link t o a web page wit h t he map t hat requires login credent ials
The shown URL requires login credentials in order to display the map. PRTG will ask the user trying to view the map via this URL for login credentials. Note: In the URL, usually the IP address is given via which the page is available. Maybe a NAT translation is set in your firewall, or you may want to use a domain name or a name from a dynamic DNS service for public access. Please customize URL you use for access to your needs.
§ Opt ion 2: Link t o a web page t hat display s t he map wit hout a login
In order to get the shown URL working for public access without a login, enable Allow
Public Access in the
1806

Please customize URL you use for access to your needs.
