Migrating WPM Player to New Server

bharris1 over 6 years ago

I'm in the process of planning our 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 Solarwinds Migration and was curious what the method was for migrating the WPM Player to a new server. Is it as easy as installing the WPM player on the new server and then swapping the name and IP over to the new server and it just takes over? Or do I need to make changes in the WPM configuration.

You should be able to simply add a new transaction location (player), and then assign your transactions to that location for monitoring. See Transactions - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support for more information.

The problem with that is I would lose all the current historical information. Someone had mentioned in another thread that you can change the player ID in the database to keep the data, but they didn't know what the tables were and what needed to be changed.

FYI, you are probably looking to modify AgentID in SEUM_Agents. While I cannot officially recommend you make a direct change to the database in this instance, this is where you would want to start. If you decide to do so, make sure you take a backup of the database.
