This can be utilized, for example, when transferring host information such as metrics from one Amazon EC2 instance to a different instance and continuing monitoring.
However, if the instance is different, we generally recommend that you register and manage it as a different host in Mackerel as well (for system metric information, you can also reference information from the previous host with the role graph). But if for some reason or another you want to continue monitoring as the same host, this can be useful.
