Abstract: A method to upgrade an on-premises based first remote collector to a cloud-based second remote collector is described. In an example, an operating system of a virtual appliance that runs the first remote collector is upgraded. The first remote collector may monitor an endpoint and send monitored information to a first monitoring application running on an on-premises server. Further, a second remote collector associated with a second monitoring application is installed on the virtual appliance. The second monitoring application runs on a cloud-based server. Furthermore, connection information of the second remote collector is configured to connect to the second monitoring application. Then, the first remote collector is upgraded to the second remote collector using the upgraded operating system and the connection information. Upon rebooting the virtual appliance, the second remote collector can be enabled to monitor the endpoint and send monitored information to the second monitoring application.
