Devops Servername changes

[rjmon]

I am trying to monitor Devops server processess but the servername keeps changing, How to monitor these type of situations.

Hello, @rjmon. What kind of monitoring agent are you using on the DevOps server? Is it just the server name changing or the IP address as well?

Hi @npolovenko, It is running nsclient++ on windows servers. Both the servernames and IP address are changing.

@rjmon, Ideally you'd set up a DNS name entry for this windows host so that even if the IP address changed the DNS name would stay the same.

Otherwise, you can set up passive checks using the NSCLient and specify the hostname in the nsclient.ini file:

; HOSTNAME - The host name of this host if set to blank (default) the windows name of the computer will be used.

hostname = yourHostName
