Is it possible to rename a site?

[ReenigneArcher]

I would like to rename some sites, without losing the history. Is it possible?

For example:

sites:
  - name: website
    url: https://www.google.com

to...

sites:
  - name: Google
    url: https://www.google.com

If the URL doesn't change will the history remain?

Currently, there's no easy way, but what you can do is:

1. Rename website.yml to google.yml
2. Then rename "website" to "Google"

i.e., the slugified version of the new name should be the pre-existing file to retain history.

Finally got around to doing this... unfortunately there were some problems. Any sites that were renamed are shown with a red side indicator and shown as down in the readme, but they are shown with 100% uptime and no issue is opened. Also, with no graphs. The site also shows "All systems are operational".

Not sure if I did something wrong, but these were my steps.

1. Disable actions
2. Rename yml files, rename name in config file, renamed api and graphs subdirectories
3. Commit changes
4. Re-enable actions and allow Uptime CI to run
5. Discovered issue

Then I proceeded to manually run the following workflows, which probably wiped any history, and did not fully resolve the problem.

• Static Site CI
• Summary CI
• Response Time CI
• Graphs CI
• Update Template CI

Graphs did come back, but history is gone. Response time is showing as 0 ms. And still shown as red.

I then proceeded to run Setup CI, which finally corrected everything.

I'm going to see if I can find a way to undo the wiping of the history.

I was able to restore the graphs from commit I made when I renamed everything. Not sure why that didn't take originally, but I guess I should have ran "Setup CI" first after renaming the sites.

False alarm on restoring the history. Seems to have been overwritten again.
