+### Customization
+
+The multi-platform probe container supports all safe environment variables which are environment variables which do not contain secrets.
+While the container provides some defaults, we recommend that you change the following environment variables to your liking:
+
+| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
+|--|--|--|
+| `PRTGMPPROBE__NAME` | The name of the object shown in PRTG. | `multi-platform-probe@$(hostname)` |
+| `PRTGMPPROBE__ID` | The GID of the multi-platform probe. This must be a valid UUIDv4. The container automatically generates the GID when you create it and stores the GID in the `/config` volume. If you want to ensure that you always get the same UUIDv4, then we recommend that you use `uuidgen(1)` with a unique DNS string for your container, e.g. `uuidgen --namespace @dns --name com.paesslerfans.containers.acme --sha1`. | Randomly generated on the first run. |
