Hey Jacob, also please tell us more about the business use case driving the need for this and how often does it occur?
I could guess that you want to "reset" the device by deleting all the historical data, alerts, group memberships, etc., and start over with a new device but using the some of its previous base configuration, but not others?
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the suggestion, I just want to make sure I completely understand. Have you tried editing the existing device and changing the Name, Description and IP Address? Discovery will add new objects that didn't exist before the hardware change and the orphaned objects will be automatically cleaned up as per your cluster settings (30 days by default).
Otherwise, are the only fields you'd like to change the ones you mentioned? All other settings should be preserved?
