Hello Folks ,

Say on Cloud i have a deployment ABC & XYZ. I now want to merge these 2 deployments say XYZ to ABC instead of managing both the deployments separately .

Could someone share pointers or high level steps , do's/dont's of how above can be achieved ?

Thanks!!

Hello Team,

Just following up - wanted to check if someone can provide guidance on merging deployment XYZ into ABC on Cloud. Appreciate any pointers on the steps or best practices when you get a chance.

Thanks!!

Hello,

I don't think there is any documentation about this as it is not possible to merge deployments, so what you should do is to decomission one of the deployments and migrate everything to the other cluster.

How are you ingesting data in deployment XYZ? What do you want to migrate? Dashboards? Users?

Hi @Tortoise

Well, there is no real merging of clusters. You cannot add the data nodes from one cluster into another cluster that's not supported.

From there, you would have to tell us a little bit more about the size scale and a high level of data....

The first thing that would come to mind is snapshot and restore as that can bring over a lot of cluster state and the. Not all of the cluster state and other items but most of it templates, alerts etc if that is part of the scheme.

Do you have a commercial license?

Tell us a bit more perhaps we can help.
