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.
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.
As an alternative to removing a process from monitoring, you can instead disable its alerts, which allows you to continue to view the process in the Deployment page but turns off notifications about its status. To use this option, see Manage a Process’s Alerts.
Procedures¶
Remove a Process from Management¶
Click the Deployment tab, then click the Deployment page.¶
Click the first of the two Processes icons.¶
On the line listing the cluster, replica set, or process, click the ellipsis icon and select the option to remove it.¶
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. |
| Completely remove | Removes the processes from both management and monitoring. Ops Manager no longer displays the process. Before you can completely remove a managed deployment, you must terminate the deployment’s backups. |
