Stop/restart OneAgent on Linux

In case you don't want to use OneAgent inside a particular Java (or other) process, you can easily disable DESK monitoring for individual hosts, process groups, or applications:

1. Go to Settings > Monitoring overview.
2. Click the Hosts, Process groups, or Applications tab to access the monitoring switches for individual entities.
3. Slide the Monitoring switch to the Off position.
4. Restart all processes for which monitoring has been disabled.

Stop OneAgent using the command line

If you use configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible, you can alternatively stop the OneAgent service using the following command:

• for systems with SystemV: service oneagent stop
• for systems with systemd: systemctl stop oneagent

where oneagent is the init.d script for OneAgent.

Note: If you stop OneAgent service, monitoring will be disabled until the service is restarted.

Start OneAgent using the command line

To start DESK OneAgent again, use the following command:

• for systems with SystemV: service oneagent start
• for systems with systemd: systemctl start oneagent

where oneagent is the init.d script for OneAgent.
