You should maybe change the RRD-files to read-only or modify the housekeeping-script, otherwise housekeeping will delete the RRD-files when they are unchanged for 30day or whatever the default is.

The way I handle this is to rename the old router, disable it, and then add the new router.
You can't really retain the information and delete the device, so you can just disable and rename it, and then delete it in a year or so when the data isn't useful anymore.

Hi,
is there any best procedure known to keep graphs data for a "Aggregated Graph" build with filters? (Port groups)
Example: We have a Port Group called "Transit" which includes all ports labeled as Transit upstreams. Now we replaced the whole router which had a transit upstream. The new router does have it aswell.
Now we want to keep the existing data for the Port Group Graph for historical reason, but we also want to delete the device in the database to keep Observium database clean. Currently we also have duplicate IP addresses for the configured IP addresses... on the old device and on the new one. I think if we delete the device we will lose the port label information which is important to build the port groups with the filters. Can someone advise something?
