15.3.7.3. Removing the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Mac OS X

Removing the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager

To remove the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, run the uninstall.app located in the /Applications/mysql/enterprise/monitor/ directory, or the root directory of your MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installation.

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 /Applications/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 /Applications/mysql/enterprise/monitor directory; doing so will delete these files.

Removing the Monitor Agent

Prior to removal of the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent you should stop any agents. Do this by changing to the init.d directory and issuing the command: 

shell> ./mysql-monitor-agent stop

Run the uninstall.app file located in the /Applications/mysql/enterprise/agent directory.

After uninstalling the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent you may remove the /Applications/mysql/enterprise/agent directory.

Removing the MySQL Enterprise 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 daemon

  4. Remove/Archive associated files

It is best to stop the agent before removing it; for instructions on stopping an agent see Section 15.3.3.5.2, “Starting/Stopping the Agent on Mac OS X”.

You can confirm the location of the agent log files by checking the ini file. For more information on this topic see Section 15.3.3.6.1, “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.
