Uninstrumenting an application server

When you no longer want to collect profiling data from a server, you can uninstrument it. Also, if you are going to uninstall the data collection infrastructure, you must uninstrument all servers before you uninstall the infrastructure.

Note: To uninstrument a remote server, an SSH server must be on the remote server.

To uninstrument a server:

  1. Select the server instance from the list.
  2. Click Remove.
  3. Click OK. If security is enabled on the server, provide your user ID and password for the server. Click OK.
  4. If the removal failed, you will be asked if you would like to force the uninstall and ignore errors.
    Warning: This option simply removes the server from the Application servers list. Use this only as a last resort, as it may leave servers in an unstable state.
  5. If necessary, repeat these steps to unconfigure all instances of a particular server.

After uninstrumenting the server, the tool attempts to restart the server automatically. If the tool is unable to restart the server, you will be notified and will have to restart the server manually.
