When a tunnel is created in prtg an ID is automatically generated, is there a way to change it?

Votes:

Every time I make a tunnel an ID is automatically created, for example "(5846523)Company", every time this tunnel falls and when it comes back the ID changes automatically and the monitoring does not recognize this new ID created and keeps showing the old one, ie , every time a tunnel falls when the ID changes but the old one is not changed and I can't monitor the new automatically, I would have to configure the new one precisely because of the ID, would be able to disable the ID or leave it fixed?

Hi,

This behavior is correct as the tunnel has a new ID which PRTG could not identify. If you run an auto discovery after the tunnel has received the new ID, PRTG will create a new sensor for this tunnel. So please make sure that the ID does not change or create a new sensor every time a tunnel gets a new ID.
