IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Remove an agent through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
You can also uninstall non-OS 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.
You cannot use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to remove or uninstall OS agents.
If the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility is running when you uninstall the agent, it is shut down automatically by the uninstallation process.
Use the following steps to remove and optionally uninstall an agent:
- In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, right-click the agent Navigator item and click Remove.
- Click Yes when you are asked to confirm the removal of the agent.
- 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 the computer.
