Removing the server agent

If you no longer want to monitor a server, you can remove the agent and delete the server from InfraBeacon.

Removing the agent from your server

Run the removal script as root:

curl -fsSL https://infrabeacon.io/tools/server-agent/remove.sh | sudo bash

This will:

  • Remove the cron job from /etc/cron.d/ib-agent
  • Delete the agent script from /usr/local/bin/ib-agent
  • Delete the config file from /etc/ib-agent.conf
  • Remove the state directory /var/lib/ib-agent

The log file at /var/log/ib-agent.log is left in place so you can check it if needed. You can delete it manually if you wish.

Deleting the server from InfraBeacon

  • Go to your Account page
  • Find the server in the Server Monitoring section
  • Select Delete next to the server

Deleting a server queues it for removal. Older data is deleted in the background. This may take a few moments for servers with a lot of history.
