How to hide the “Activate New UI And New API (Alpha)” banner
With PRTG 21.4.73, we have released the initial alpha version of the new UI and API. You can activate and deactivate the new UI and API in the setup settings of the PRTG web interface. For more information, see I want to use the new UI and new API. What do I need to know?
As of PRTG 22.2.76, you can globally hide the “Activate New UI And New API (Alpha)” banner in the setup settings of the PRTG web interface.
By default, only user accounts with administrative rights can see the banner. You can hide the banner for these user accounts, except the PRTG System Administrator user account (prtgadmin), at any time. To do so, follow the instructions below:
- Open the Registry Editor on the PRTG core server system as administrator.
- Navigate to the following key:
| Registry Key | |
|---|---|
| 32-bit | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Server\Core\ |
| 64-bit | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Server\Core\ |
- Right-click in the right window, move the curser on New, and click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Enter AAPreview as name for the new value.
- After creation, the value data of AAPreview is 0 by default and the banner is hidden for all user accounts with administrative rights except the PRTG System Administrator user account (prtgadmin).
Note: After reloading the setup settings, the banner will be hidden. A restart of the PRTG core server service is not required.
