Description

Hi everybody,

I have to separate Matomo installations. Each of them with about 30 to 40 configured sites. I now would like to merge the two installations into one and found your tool.

As far as I understood, your tool always creates a new site when migrating site data from "source" to "target"? So I only can change the tracking URLs after migrating the data. Unfortunately, this would cause a loss of data in the timespan between "creating the site in the target Matomo installation" and "updating the tracking code to the new URL".

My idea would be ...

1) configure the site in the target Matomo installation
2) change the tracking URLs on my websites
3) migrate old data from "source" to correspondending/existing site in "target"

In this way, I would not have any timespan with data loss. Or are there any other recommended workflows to switch from one installation to another?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the migration tool handles source and target sites, especially its current behavior of creating a new site. Determine whether importing data into a correspondending existing target site can avoid the described gap in tracking, and document a recommended workflow or the required feature.
