Change IP Address for Additional Polling Engine

Hi,

we need to change our APE IP address to a different subnet. I found this article: https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Change-the-IP-address-of-the-main-Orion-server-or-additional-polling-engine

It seems pretty straight forward, however it doesn't say anything about the agents. I assume that all agents polled by that APE will need to be re-deployed or changed IP as well.

Does anyone has recent experience with changing APE IP? And what is the best practice for it?

Our SolarWinds version is 2019.4, and we have multi modules:SAM, NPM, NCM, NTA, SRM, VIM, WPM.

Thank you!

If the agent is polled by the server then no change needs to happen, if the agent initiates the traffic then you can update the settings of the agent (reg for windows, config file for linux) and bounce it, but re-deploying works fine too if you don't want to mess with anything on the nodes themselves.
