Re: Devops Servername changes
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.

Re: Devops Servername changes
@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:
