8 Remove Oracle Management Cloud Agents

This section describes how to remove gateways, data collectors and cloud agents.

About Removing Oracle Management Cloud Agents

When you uninstall an Oracle Management Cloud agent associated with a target host, the Oracle Management Cloud agent is unregistered from Oracle Management Cloud and then it’s removed.

You remove an agent from your target host if:

  • An agent deployed on the target host is no longer necessary.

  • You no longer need to collect performance metrics, resource data, or logs for a specific target host.

  • You modified your deployment topology.

Note:

If you are removing a gateway, ensure that all data collectors and cloud agents associated with the gateway have also been removed.
