Remove Self Monitoring Entries

To stop monitoring a MIB variable, you must remove the appropriate entry from the Self Monitor table and the sysedge.cf file. Removing an entry using point configuration from the CA Server Automation user interface accomplishes both. Manual removal requires that you remove the entry from both places in separate operations.

To remove self monitor entries in CA Server Automation

  1. Access the CA Server Automation user interface.
  2. Click the Resources tab.

    The Managed Resource pane and Data Center page appear.

  3. Expand Managed in the Managed Resource pane and select the server on which the agent resides.

    A page appears with server details.

  4. Click Configuration, then click Self Monitors.

    The Self Monitor table appears with all existing self monitors.

  5. Select the monitor to delete and click Actions, Delete.

    The entry is deleted from the table. CA Server Automation loads the changed sysedge.cf file to the agent. The agent performs a warm start to apply the change.

To remove self monitor entries manually

  1. Run the edgemon utility using one of the following commands for the -o parameter:
    edgemon -o delete index
    
    edgemon -o setstatus index 6
    
    index

    Specifies the index value of the self monitor entry to remove.

    When using the setstatus command, a value of 6 sets the row status to destroy and deletes the entry.

    Note: If the sysedge.cf is edited, you must restart the agent.

  2. Delete the monitor directive for the entry from the local sysedge.cf file and save the file.
  3. Restart the agent.
