Change PRTG Version Text in Graphs

By default, PRTG shows its name and version number in a small text line underneath each graph. You can change this text by adding a new value to the Windows registry.

Caution: Please backup your system before manipulating the Windows registry!

Step 1

• On the system running the PRTG core server, open the registry editor.

• For a 64-Bit Windows system, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Server\Webserver\

• For a 32-Bit Windows system, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Server\Webserver\

Note: For PRTG 8 you might see the values in the additional sub-key V7 or V8.

Step 2

• Add a new String with the name GraphExtraText.
• As value, set the text you want to appear underneath the graphs. If you want to show nothing in the lower left corner of your graphs, please enter three spaces " ".

Notes

• The new setting is active after a restart of the core server Windows service (see PRTG System Administrator in manual).
• To reset the text to default (PRTG name and version number), please delete the string from the registry, or set its value to an empty string.
• Since PRTG version 8.2.0.1875, this setting is also valid when using the Windows GUI.
• The setting is only valid for the core server on which you've just changed the registry. When running a cluster with additional core server installations, please perform these steps on every node to make sure the changed text is visible to users regardless of the node they connect to.
