Change Polling Engine on existing device

I have been trying to find this answer after searching through Orion for some time. Running NPM and NPE 10.1.1. The NPM was installed first and a couple of hundred routers/switches/firewalls were added.

I installed the NPE and it connected to the NPM database so that it is able to manage devices. However, I have bee completely unsuccessful in finding a way to change the Polling Engine from the NPM to the NPE. I expected this to be an easy dropdown. I have searched endlessly in trying to find out how to do this but have not found anything.

So, is there a way to change an existing device so that it uses a new NPE without having to delete and add it back in since that is the only place I am able to find the dropdown menu to select the Polling Engine.

Thanks in advance,

Steven

On the NPM:

Start - Programs - Solarwinds Orion - Advanced Features - Monitor Polling Engines

Servers - Poller Load Balancing

Use the dropdowns under "Polling Engine" or follow the instructions at the top.

I figured that there would be an option like this in the web admin, but oh well.
