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 Monitor 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. You can remove these services without also removing your MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installation. For more information about these services, see Section 15.6.2.6, “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 removes all the services associated with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager.

To confirm that these services have been removed, check in the Microsoft Management Console Services window.

To reinstall these services, use the Install MySQL Enterprise Monitor Services menu option.

You can also 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 15.6.2.6, “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 executes the uninstall program located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent directory.

Removing the Monitor Agent automatically deletes its associated .log and .pid files. After removing the Monitor Agent, you might need to remove the directories, C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise and C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent.

Removing the Monitor Agent this way removes the default service. If you are running additional Monitor Agents as described in MySQL Server (agent-instance.ini) Configuration, you must remove those agents manually. See the next section for instructions on doing this.

Removing a Single Agent

To remove only one of the agents from a machine that is running several 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 15.6.3.5.1, “Starting/Stopping the Agent on Windows”.

To confirm the location of the agent log files, check the ini file. For more information on this topic, see MySQL Enterprise Agent Configurable Options.

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

shell> sc delete AgentName

To confirm that the agent has been removed, check that there is no longer any entry for that agent in the Microsoft Management Console Services window.

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 way.
