request-naming-service and monaco not working well together

We defined a Global request naming rule using the API and this works fine. But when putting it in our monaco configuration it is recreated every time monaco runs.
The reason for this is that this API does not take a name attribute. So monaco probably doesn't know if it already exists or not. Giving it an "id" is also not accepted.

Welcome everyone, do you know what would cause the issue highlighted by Bert above?

Hey Mechal,

In the meanwhile I have found a workaround. This specific API does not have a name attribute. And monaco uses the name attribute to check uniqueness.
See: https://github.com/dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-monitoring-as-code/issues/377

Thanks for the follow-up 😉
