Remove a Process from Management or Monitoring¶
On this page
Overview¶
You can remove a process from management, monitoring, or both. Removing a process does not shut down the process. You can remove individual processes or an entire cluster or replica set.
Managed Processes¶
Removing a process from management (i.e., Automation) means you can no longer control it directly through Ops Manager. If you are removing a managed process and want to be able to easily stop and start the process after removal, you can create scripts for stopping and starting the process.
If you do not want to leave a managed process running after removal, shut down the process before removing it.
Note
You must shut down mongos processes before you can remove them from
Automation. The Remove from Cluster option is not available
for mongos processes that are running.
You can continue to monitor the process after unmanaging it. If you do continue monitoring the process, you do not need to change any backups running for that process.
As an alternative to removing a process from automated management, you can temporarily suspend management of the process. This is useful if you need to temporarily shut down the process, for example for maintenance, and do not want Ops Manager to automatically start the process back up until you are ready.
Monitored Processes¶
Removing a process from monitoring means Ops Manager no longer displays its status or tracks its metrics.
Before you can remove monitored deployment, you must terminate the deployment’s backups.

Instead of removing a process from monitoring, you can disable its alerts. You can see the process in the Deployment page but not receive any status alerts. To disable the unneeded alerts, see Disable Alerts for a Specific Process.
Procedures¶
Remove a Process from Management¶
Click Deployment, then the Processes tab, then the Topology view.¶

Select whether to also stop monitoring the process.¶
Select one of the following and click Remove. If prompted for an authentication code, enter the code.
| Unmanage this item but continue to monitor | Removes the process from management only. You can no longer control the process through Ops Manager, but Ops Manager continues to display its status and track its metrics. |
