Reporting on deleted objects

Running vROPS 6.0

We are migrating to new vCenters.  By doing so the objects being collected on in vRops become deleted objects since they no longer exist in the old vCenters.  I have changed my Global Settings to retain these deleted objects for an extended period of time (6mos max).  I understand the repercussions in doing so but this is needed for now in order to get historical data on these virtual machines.

I'm able to view the deleted objects in the Environment Overview

Is there a way I can still generate reports on these objects that no longer being collected against?  Specifically speaking, we need to right size a large amount of machines and want to still be able to generate reports on demand of the old data.  Is there an "easy" way to reference these deleted objects before they are purged from the database?

Many thanks!

Looking at this link Effects for Moving VM between vCenters & vRops historical stats

It seems GSS can help...
