How to avoid creating new collector

We have a service that hosted on cloud. But from time to time, the machine on the cloud will be re-image. Machine name will stay same. We re-deploy the sumologic local collector to the machine, but each time, a new collector will be created with a new name (for example MachineName_1234). Is there a solution to re-link to the collector that was already created?

  Hi Di,

  We have an existing Feature Request that captures your requirement to redeploy a new instance of an existing collector

  https://sumologic.zendesk.com/entries/24284056-Ability-to-restore-a-Collector-on-new-server

  Please feel free to vote on this request so that it gains more visibility.

  Currently the only way to prevent the creation of collector with name MachineName_1234 is to delete the existing collector MachineName

  Hope this helps

  Raghu
