Providing Customized Login Screens for PRTG to Customers

Written by Dirk Paessler | Nov 25, 2009

Recently a company that uses its own PRTG installation to monitor customers' sites asked us how they can supply customized login screens with the customers' logos when they log into the MSP's PRTG installation. They are an MSP (Managed Service Provider) and offer monitoring of their customer sites as a service.

There are two solutions which are both quite easy to deploy for any webmaster:

Solution 1: Copy the HTML code of the <form> tag from PRTG's login webpage and place it on your own website (note: the login form where you enter your credentials must not necessarily be served by the PRTG Webserver)
Solution 2: Make a copy of PRTG's default login page (file "login.htm" in the "/PRTG Network Monitor/website/public/" folder, e.g. into login2.htm), edit it as necessary (make sure youkeep the <#include file="includes\loginform.htm"> placeholder) and then give the customer this unqiue url (e.g. http://prtgserver/public/login2.htm).

The minimalistic version of the login form template file for solution 2 would be:

<html>
  <body>
    <#include file="includes\loginform.htm">
  </body>
</html>
