  1. Go to Settings > Monitoring overview.
  2. Click the Hosts, Process groups, or Applications tab to access the monitoring switches for individual entities.
  3. Slide the Monitoring switch to the Off position.
  4. Restart all processes for which monitoring has been disabled.

Stop and start OneAgent using the command line

  • Restart OneAgent via oneagentctl command-line interface.

  • If you use configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible, you can alternatively stop the OneAgent service using the shell command. The oneagent service script is located in <INSTALL_PATH>/agent/initscripts/.

    To stop OneAgent, use root privileges and execute the oneagent service script with the stop parameter.

    If you stop OneAgent service, monitoring will be disabled until the service is restarted.

    To start OneAgent, use root privileges and execute the oneagent service script with the start parameter.
