Re-assign a managed transaction to a different playback location?

$

Question,

 

Is there a way to simply re-assign or 'move' a managed transaction monitor from one playback location to another? I ask because I can see running into a situation where a player load starts to reach capacity and I'll need to move a transaction from one location to another to relieve the stress. 

 

Take this situation for example:

  • I am currently monitoring a transaction against Google.com.
  • The player load is approaching 70% on the server where the Google.com transaction is running.
    2015-03-19_11h33_14.png
  • So I want to 'move' one transaction monitor to another location (in the case of the screenshot above, that would be QA #2) without losing the historical monitoring data.

 

So far what I've discovered is that I would need to assign the Google.com monitor to the QA2 location first (effectively 'duplicating' the monitor to another location) then delete the monitor from QA1 to free up resources.

 

The problem with doing this is that once you delete a monitor from SolarWinds all of it's historical data is deleted from the SQL database as well. So I don't want to delete the monitor because there may be very good polling data that we would need for reporting and historical reasons. Instead I would prefer to 'move' the monitor from one poller to another to relieve stress on the system. We can do this in SolarWinds NPM and SAM where you can change your polling engine. So I am hoping it is possible to do the same with this product.

 

So, is it possible to move transactions from one location to another without deleting them?

 

*** I am running WPM v2.2.
