Custom Map Objects for PRTG Maps

The PRTG Maps feature enables you to create web pages with your own view on the monitoring data and publish your network status in a customizable layout. Because these dashboards are common HTML web pages technically, you can edit existing map objects, add new map objects to use in the Map Designer, and include external elements from other web pages.

The following articles show sample codes for custom map objects. You can use these objects in your own maps, customize them, or take the code samples as a starting point to create your own custom map objects:
