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.

See also

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.
