Object IDs

REST resources are identified by their IDs. For example, /devices/<device-id> identifies a specific device.

The ID of resources that are managed by TOS are persistent. For example, a device ID or a ticket ID will not change once it has been created.

The ID of resources that are managed by the monitored devices (such as firewalls, routers, or cloud platforms ) are not persistent, and may change each revision. For example, rule IDs and network_object IDs are not persistent across revisions.
