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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.10/migrate-elastic-agent.html)

@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!

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.
