Delete a Monitoring Device

When deleting a CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor that shares WAE performance data, be sure to reset the configuration on the other shared monitoring devices as soon as possible so that they only share data between themselves.

Deleting a shared monitor does not automatically reset the configuration on the other shared monitoring devices. The management console continues to share data between monitoring devices and data that is shared with the deleted monitor is lost.

Follow these steps:

Unassign the Cisco WAE devices that are assigned to the CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor that you want to delete.
Delete the CA Standard Monitor.
Restart the Data Transfer Manager service on all the remaining monitoring devices. It can take up to 25 minutes to update the sharing configuration.
Update the Cisco WAE devices to share performance data with the available monitoring devices by restarting flow monitoring on each Cisco WAE.
To restart flow monitoring using the CLI:
1. On the Cisco WAE, change to configuration mode by running the following command:
```
config
```
2. The command line prompt changes to:
```
WAE<config>#
```
3. Disable flow monitoring by running the following command:
```
no flow monitor tcpstat-v1 enable
```
4. Enable flow monitoring by running the following command:
```
flow monitor tcpstat-v1 enable
```
5. Return to privilege mode by running the following command:
```
exit
```
6. The command line prompt changes to:
```
WAE#
```
7. Check the flow monitoring status by running the following command:
```
show statistics flow monitor tcpstat-v1
```
