User account used for Auto-Discovery with device template?

Votes:

0

I've created a auto-discovery group with sensor creation based on a device template. After the auto-discovery was completed, I noticed that in the "history" tab (last tab on the right), it shows that the sensor were created by a different user.

The auto-discovery was run under my user account, but the user listed in the history tab is a totally different user which only has "read-only" rights. (but used to have admin rights).

Any idea why the wrong user is being shown as having created the sensors?

Hello,

thank you very much for the KB-Post. Could it be that this particular user created the parent group here? We've checked the code, and PRTG should use the User-ID, but that might come from the parent group if you perform the discovery directly then in this group for a device. Maybe uploading some screenshots will make things clearer.

best regards.
