Delete a Monitoring Device

Delete a CA Standard monitoring device to remove it as a source of response time data. When you delete a monitoring device, any servers that were pinned to the corresponding monitor feed are unpinned, and another monitor feed is automatically assigned. It can take up to 10 minutes to update the monitor feed assignment.

If you have pinned servers to a monitor feed, and you want to continue monitoring server traffic while the monitoring device is temporarily offline, consider the following options:

• Pin the servers to another monitor feed before you delete the monitoring device. When you move the monitoring device back online, pin the appropriate servers to the monitor feed.
• Delete the monitoring device. Another monitor feed is automatically assigned, but it can take up to 10 minutes to update the monitor feed assignment.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.
3. Scroll to the ADA Monitoring Device List and click to delete a monitoring device.
4. Click Continue with Delete at the prompt. This step deletes the monitoring device.

   The monitoring device is removed from the ADA Monitoring Device List.
