2.7.2. Removing the MySQL Enterprise Monitor: Unix

Removing the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager

To remove the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, find the uninstall file in the /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor directory.

Execute this file by typing: 

shell> ./uninstall

During the uninstall process you will be given the option of saving existing data and log files. Choose this option if you plan to reinstall the MySQL Enterprise Monitor.

If you are not saving existing data, after uninstalling the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager you may remove the /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor directory.

Warning

If you chose not to remove existing data and log files when uninstalling the MySQL Enterprise Monitor do not remove the /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor directory; doing so will delete these files.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Fedora Core 4, the uninstall script may not stop the Tomcat server. Do this manually if necessary. To do this see, Section 2.2.6, “Starting/Stopping the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Service on Unix and Mac OS X”.

There may be other Java processes running on your system. Be careful not to accidentally stop them.

On some Unix platforms, inluding HP-UX, you may have to manually delete the uninstall application and the installation directory after you have execute the uninstall process.

Removing the Monitor Agent

Prior to removal of the Monitor Agent Service you should stop any agents. Do this by changing to the init.d directory and issuing the command, ./mysql-monitor-agent stop.

You will find the uninstall file in the /opt/mysql/enterprise/agent directory. Execute this file by navigating to this directory and typing: 

shell> ./uninstall

After uninstalling the Monitor Agent you may remove the /opt/mysql/enterprise/agent directory.

Removing the Monitor Agent in this fashion will remove the default service, and all the configuration files for different instances.

Removing a Single Agent

If you are running more than one agent on the same machine and wish to remove only one of the agents, do not run the uninstall program. To remove a single agent and leave other agents intact follow these steps:

  1. Stop the agent

  2. Confirm the location of the log files

  3. Remove the agent as a service

  4. Remove/Archive associated files

It is best to stop the agent before removing it; for instructions on stopping an agent see Section 2.3.5.3, “Starting/Stopping the Agent on Unix”.

You can confirm the location of the agent log files by checking the ini file. For more information on this topic see Section 2.3.6.1, “MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent (mysql-monitor-agent.ini) Configuration”.

You may then remove the agent as a daemon by removing its entry in the init.d directory. You should also remove or archive any log or configuration files associated with this agent.

If you have installed any additional agents, remove them in the same fashion.
