Nodes in library empty all of a sudden

Votes:

0

In PRTG, we have a lot of libraries with multiple nodes.
This morning I noticed a lot of libraries / nodes to be empty.
Further investigation showed it's due to the account in the Security Context (AD mapped account) is disabled.

However, this account has been disabled for well over a year already.
And up until now it worked fine, no empty entries in my libraries.
Going through the Release Nodes, this sudden empty entries in the libraries might be introduced in version 18.3.42.1727, where changes were made in the Security Context of the libraries.

We rely heavily on libraries to send out Alerts when something goes wrong.
Is there a better / faster way than to go through each and every library and check / change the Security Context for each and every node?
Because that's going to be a lot of work (and I simply don't have the time to do that).

For all I care, for every entry in my libraries the Security Context can be set to PRTG Administrator (because that's an account that's never going to be removed / disabled)...

Dear Corné,

in order to edit the settings of multiple libraries in bulk, please use multi edit.
