There is a number of ways to join the stats from two rrds together into a single new rrd.
Search for "rrdtool merge".
I've done this a number of times during different device migrations/upgrades in order to preserve long term trend data. But i can't recall the exact commands of the top of my head and I'm AFK.
Hope this helps,
Michael

Port statistics are just held in a .rrd file on the server. You can copy one file over another file. This is usually not a good thing to do, because you're copying statistics for errors and other things too, but if it's legitimately the same interface, this isn't a problem.
You can see what the files are by clicking on a graph and seeing what RRDs are used (or showing the RRD command for graphs where the RRDs aren't shown in the UI)

Observium is correctly reporting the data on the old virtual i/f (which still technically exists) and – naturally – separately on the new virtual i/f. Is there any way to (retroactively???) tell Observium that these are really the same interface, and to display only one graph for the two ifIndexes? Or, if I correct the situation so the old ifIndex & name is being showing traffic again, is there any way to move, or inject, the collected data on the ‘new’ port into the ‘old’ port’s RRDs? (i.e. avoid a multi-day gap in a multi-year dataset) We are reasonably up-to-date, running 19.2.9712 – not sure what other info will be helpful here.
