Website Settings
Website Settings
The Web Site tab allows to specify certain functions as regards the web interface.
This will affect the way that the web view will be displayed
First you can enter a Site Name (e.g. your company or location).
Secondly it is possible to define a Site name (this will be displayed at the start of the web view, where one can select the monitored sensors), an Admin email (which will be defined as the administrator’s email address under the web view), and a Homepage URL. The administrator email, as well as the defined homepage URL will be available as links in the bottom left hand of the web view.
You can also select one of various skins which will affect the way that PRTG Traffic Grapher will look like and function. Please use the drop down menu to select the desired skin.
Note: You can also edit the skins, see the appendix for details.
The Web Interface Graph Settings section allows you to enter the graph width and the graph height, as they will be shown in the web view. Keep in mind – if you enter very high values, the graphs may spread beyond the limits of the web browser’s window size. However, you will still be able to scroll the extents of the graphs, albeit rendering the graphs and transferring the data will take much longer than with normal values.
The checkbox Enable Graphics Smoothing (experimental) will allow to anti-alias (smooth) the jaggy edges of the graph and fonts in the web view. As such, a clearer image without annoying “steps” will appear (see images below).
It is a very subjective question whether to use Graphics Smoothing or not. Please note that using Graphics Smoothing creates a higher CPU load when graphs are computed.
