Hi, We have a probe device showing as disconnected which monitors 400 devices, however when starting/restarting the probe service it shows a new probe approval popup instead of reconnecting. I am assuming this is ID/GID related but cant work it out. Could you please advise on how to match up the currently offline probe device with the probe server ?

Hi Sam,
It appears that for some reason the GID changed, though this usually is only the case when re-installing a probe on a different host or changing the probe's GID manually in PRTG Administration Tool on the probe host.
I would suggest you approve that probe and move then all devices and sensors from the non-connected probe to the newly approved one. When done, you can delete the object representing the no longer connecting probe. This has no impact on historic sensor data, since all the monitoring data is stored only on the PRTG core server.
Kind regards,
Erhard
