Hosted collector not capturing logs after collector name change
Hi,
I have a collector and three sources under the collector. Then decided to change the collector and source name due to some new collector are to be added and to maintain ease.
After changing the collector name, collector does not capturing any new logs and when i change the name to the original collector name again, it starts to capture it.
Does anything I missed to configure to change the collector name??
Thanks,

Changing the name of the Collector or a Source should not affect the collection of logs, but it will change the metadata assigned to any logs received so you will need to make sure and change any queries that use _collector=<name> or _source=<name> to ensure they use the new collector name otherwise you may not get any results.
