+### Collector name not updating after configuration change for locally managed collectors
+
+Starting from **Sumo Logic OpenTelemetry Collector version `0.137.0-sumo-0`**, changing the `extensions.sumologic.collector.name` property in the configuration file **does not automatically update** the locally managed collector name upon restart.
+
+#### Cause
+The collector retains the previous name from the local credentials file and does not regenerate it unless the credentials are removed.
+
+#### Resolution
+To apply the new collector name after modifying the configuration:
+
+1. **Stop** the collector.
+2. **Delete all files in the local credentials directory** (path differs by OS).
+3. **Start** the collector again.
+
+
