So as long as you do not recreate a VM with different parameter it will always reappear as the same host with tags still attached to it.</P> Tue, 17 Oct 2017 05:00:01 GMT wolfgang_beer 2017-10-17T05:00:01Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Manual-Tag-persistence/m-p/38901#M1489 <P>I was wondering what the persistence of a tag is. If, for instance, a topology Entity (Host, Process, Service or Application) dies and gets restarted does the EntityId in the API change? If there are any manual tags on that Entity would they be lost ?</P> Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:53:16 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Manual-Tag-persistence/m-p/38901#M1489 rb0c70091 2017-10-16T14:53:16Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Manual-Tag-persistence/m-p/38902#M1490 <P>The entity and configuration is persistent according to an identifier.
