Redirect Elastic Agent to new Fleet Server

Elastic Stack Elastic Agent
1

I have about 1000 elastic agents currently connected to a Fleet server that is also my Kibana server.
I'd like to migrate the devices to a new Fleet server to improve the performance of my Kibana server.
Can I migrate the agents by adding a 2nd Fleet server to the Fleet settings, give that a day or two to propagate, and then remove the old server?
Or is there a better way to do that?

I did find this documentation. Is this the only way to migrate? Migrate Fleet-managed Elastic Agents from one cluster to another | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.10] | Elastic

@sourcreamnormanbates thanks for reaching out. I don't believe this is a specific security related issue so I've re-tagged your question for the more appropriate team Elastic Agent to respond. Thanks!

@Michael_Olorunnisola thanks for putting this in the right bucket!

You should be able to add a new fleet-server instance in the settings, then switch the default fleet-servers used by the policies to the new one.
