How to rename collector without losing the old data?
Hi,
I have question how can we change the collector name without losing the data associated with the old collector name. We know we can give a new name in the collector xml config file but not sure if the system will think that its is a new collector.

What data points are you concerned about loosing? Besides the internal self-monitoring measures (like class cache or buffer sizes) the measures are normally not split by collectors but agents.

We meant the collector measure data points the ones in the self monitoring profile. i think the same applies to agent as well, if we rename the agent then old values from that agent will not be stitched to the new agent name.
