Removing a monitored server

You may want to remove a server from SQL Monitor for a number of reasons:

  • Server name typed incorrectly; you will need to remove the server before adding it again with the correct name.
  • The server is no longer in use in your organization.
  • Your trial has expired and you do not wish to license this server.

To remove a server:

  1. Go to Configuration | Monitored Servers, and in the row for the server you want to remove, select Remove server from the Actions list:


    You cannot remove an individual node in a cluster. You should remove the cluster management node itself.

  2. The Remove Servers box is displayed, with the servers to be removed highlighted in the list:

    If you remove a host machine, all its instances are also removed.

  3. To remove data that is currently stored in the Data Repository for the selected servers, select the Delete all existing data... checkbox.

The server is removed from the Monitored servers list; if you have selected to remove existing data, all alerts for that server are removed.
