Uninstalling your agents
Uninstall a single agent or all the agents from a managed system.
Before you begin
For multi-instance agents, you must remove all agent instances before you uninstall the agent.
Otherwise, agent entries are not cleared from the registry. To remove instances, run the following command:
name-agent.bat remove instance_name
./name-agent.sh remove instance_name
For the following agents, an agent-specific task must be completed before you complete the uninstallation procedure:
- For the WebSphere® Applications agent, you must unconfigure the data collector for all monitored server instances before you uninstall
the agent. Follow the instructions in WebSphere Applications agent: Unconfiguring the data collector.For the WebSphere Applications agent, make sure that the user ID, which is used to uninstall the agent, has full read and write permissions to the logs and runtime directories and all their contained subdirectories and files within the data collector home directory. The data collector home directory is as follows:
install_dir\dchome\7.3.0.14.09
install_dir/yndchome/7.3.0.14.09
