Removing the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager

Remove the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager by going to the Control Panel and choosing Add or Remove Programs. Find the entry for MySQL Enterprise Monitoring and Advisory Service and remove it. During the uninstall process you will be given the option of saving existing data and log files. Choose this option if you plan to reinstall the MySQL Enterprise Monitor.

If you are not saving existing data, after MySQL Enterprise Service Manager has been removed you may delete the C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Monitor directory.

If you added the Tomcat/Apache web server to the list of Windows firewall exceptions, remove this service by opening the Windows Firewall from the Control Panel. Choose the Exceptions tab and delete the Tomcat/Apache entry.

Removing MySQL Enterprise Monitor Services Only

When the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager is installed, the Tomcat/Apache and MySQL server services are started. It is possible to remove these services without also removing your MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installation. For more information about these services see, Section 2.2.5, “Starting/Stopping the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Service on Windows”.

Do this by finding the MySQL Enterprise Monitor menu option and choosing Services and then Uninstall MySQL Enterprise Monitor Services. This will remove all the services associated with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager.

You can confirm that these services have been removed by checking services in the Microsoft Management Console Services window.

If you wish to reinstall these services you can do this by using the Install MySQL Enterprise Monitor Services menu option.

It is also possible to remove services using the mysqlmonitorctl.bat file found in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Monitor directory. To see the available options, go to the command line and type: myqlnetworkctrl help. This batch file is discussed in more detail in Section 2.2.5, “Starting/Stopping the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Service on Windows”.

Removing the Monitor Agent

To remove the Monitor Agent itself, open the Control Panel and choose Add or Remove Programs. Find the entry for MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent and remove it. This will execute the uninstall program located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent directory.

After removing the Monitor Agent you may also need to remove the directories, C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise and C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent.

Removing the Monitor Agent in this fashion will remove the default service. However, if you are running additional Monitor Agents as described in Section 2.3.6.2, “MySQL Server (agent-instance.ini) Configuration”, you will have to remove those agents manually. See the next section for instructions on doing this.

Removing a Single Agent

If you are running more than one agent on the same machine and wish to remove only one of the agents, do not remove the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent entry from the Add or Remove Programs menu. To remove a single agent and leave other agents intact follow these steps:

It is best to stop the agent before removing it; for instructions on stopping an agent see, Section 2.3.5.1, “Starting/Stopping the Agent on Windows”.

You can confirm the location of the agent log files by checking the ini file. For more information on this topic see Section 2.3.6.1, “MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent (mysql-monitor-agent.ini) Configuration”.

Go to the command line and remove the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent as a Windows service by typing:

shell> sc delete AgentName

You can confirm that the agent has been removed by checking the Microsoft Management Console Services window. There should no longer be an entry for the removed agent.

You should also remove or archive any log or configuration files associated with this agent. If you have installed any additional agents, remove them in the same fashion.
