IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Remove an agent through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
You can also uninstall monitoring agents from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal by stopping the agent and removing its configuration settings. After you have removed the agent from the enterprise, you can completely uninstall the agent from the managed system. When you remove an agent, it is removed from any managed system groups to which it is assigned, any situation or policy distribution lists it was on, and any custom Navigator view items to which it was assigned.
To use this feature, your user ID must have Manage permission for Agent Management.
To remove and optionally uninstall an agent:
If the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility is running when you uninstall the agent, it is shut down automatically by the uninstallation process.
Procedure
- Right-click the Navigator item for the agent you want to remove.
- Click Remove.
- Click Yes when you are asked to confirm the removal of the agent. If you are removing an agent that has subagents, another message will ask if you want them all removed.
- When you are asked to confirm that you want to permanently uninstall the agent, click Yes to uninstall or No to leave the agent installed on your system.
