Deleting a Metric Extension

Initiating the deletion of a metric extension is simple. However, the actual deletion triggers a cascade of activity by Enterprise Manager to completely purge the metric extension from the system. This includes closing open metric alerts, and purging collected metric data (if the latest metric extension version is deleted).

Before a metric extension version can be deleted, it must be undeployed from all targets, and removed from all monitoring templates (including templates in pending apply status).

To delete a metric extension:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring, then select Metric Extensions.
  2. From the Metric Extensions page, determine which extensions are accessible. The page displays the list of metric extensions along with target type, owner, production version and deployment information.
  3. Select the metric extension that is to be deleted.
  4. From the Actions menu, select Delete. Enterprise Manager prompts you to confirm the deletion.
  5. Confirm the deletion.
