We are using PRTG behind an Apache Reverse Proxy and can only access the WebUI using the Proxy URL. The SSL Tunnel terminates on the Proxy.
| External Proxy URL: | https://monitor.domain.com |
|---|---|
| Internal PRTG URL: | http://monitor.domain.com:8080 |
The PRTG generated Mails are only linking to the internal URL using the custom HTTP Port 8080, which will not work.
Where can I change it, so that the Links in Mails are pointing to the External URL?

Hello and thank you for your swift reply.
Ok, in that case the suggested approach won't work. Since there's no "real" way to set the port used in links generated by PRTG, you won't be able to effectively resolve this, but you can implement some workarounds.
For instance, if you're worried about alert/notification E-mails, you can define any custom content if you switch to "Text with custom content" alerts. You can then manually create the links in your E-mail. For instance for a link to the sensor:
| https://monitor.domain.com/sensor.htm?id=%sensorid |
More details about placeholders are available here:
For HTML E-mails, changes to the content are not officially supported. But you could modify the files in this folder to customize HTML E-mails:
| C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\mailtemplates |
Keep in mind that PRTG updates will automatically overwrite these files, so you may want to back-them-up before updating, otherwise you'll lose the changes when when you update. And keep in mind that this change is not officially supported.

Hello there,
thank you for your post.
You should use the same internal/external port, this way the URL will be right in both cases. While you can modify the DNS name under Setup > User Interface it is not possible to modify the port, PRTG will automatically use/append the port it is configured to run on.

I already changed the DNS name under Setup > User Interface and the WebUI is working very well.
To only use the same Port will not work, because:

Hello, thank you for your reply.
I will take note of your request. However, I'm unable to guarantee that it will be implemented anytime soon. As there are very little requests for this and a workaround is possible, the priority of the request is not very large. Please read this KB-Post to understand how we rate and prioritize feature requests:
