Remove Legacy Agents

The legacy Backup and Monitoring Agents can be removed after the MongoDB Agent has been installed.

Remove the Backup Agent from Cloud Manager

Remove from Cloud Manager

To remove a Backup Agent from Cloud Manager, stop the agent and then wait 24 hours.

Delete from the Server

To delete the Backup Agent from a Linux or macOS server, stop the agent and then remove the mongodb-mms-backup-agent file from the /usr/bin directory. If you installed the agent using a tar.gz file, the agent will be in the directory you chose during installation.

To delete the Backup Agent from a Windows server, stop the agent and then use the Windows program uninstaller to remove the MongoDB Backup Agent program.

Remove Monitoring Agents from Cloud Manager

Remove from Cloud Manager

To remove a Monitoring Agent from Cloud Manager, stop the agent and then wait 5 minutes.

When an agent fails to ping Cloud Manager for 5 minutes, Cloud Manager views the agent as inactive and distributes the agent’s assignments to other agents (if available).

Note

The All Agents page displays an inactive agent for 24 hours before Cloud Manager removes it from the page.

Delete from the Server

To delete the Monitoring Agent from a Linux or macOS server, stop the agent and then remove the mongodb-mms-monitoring-agent file from the /usr/bin directory. If you installed the agent using a tar.gz file, the agent will be in the directory you chose during installation.

To delete the Monitoring Agent from a Windows server, stop the agent and then use the Windows program uninstaller to remove the MongoDB Monitoring Agent program.
