What to do if an OID of a counter was changed by an SNMP device

There are SNMP devices that sometimes change the OID for a specific counter. This is common for systems running Windows 2003. If this happens PRTG can not continue to monitor this counter and it is easiest to add a new sensor. If the historic data needs to be bound to the new sensor in order to retain the monitoring structure please refer to our knoweldge base article Binding historic datasets to new sensors and recalculating historic data for an individual sensor.
