Remove Legacy Agents¶
The legacy Backup and Monitoring Agents can be removed after the MongoDB Agent has been installed.
Remove the Backup Agent from Ops Manager¶
Remove from Ops Manager¶
To remove a Backup Agent from Ops Manager, stop the agent and then wait 24 hours.
Delete from the Server¶
To delete the Backup Agent from a Linux or macOS server, stop the
agent and then remove the mongodb-mms-backup-agent
file from the /usr/bin directory. If you installed the agent using a
tar.gz file, the agent will be in the directory you chose during
installation.

remove the MongoDB Backup Agent program.
Remove Monitoring Agents from Ops Manager¶
Remove from Ops Manager¶
To remove a Monitoring Agent from Ops Manager, stop the agent and then wait 5 minutes.
When an agent fails to ping Ops Manager for 5 minutes, Ops Manager views the agent as inactive and distributes the agent’s assignments to other agents (if available).
Note
The All Agents page displays an inactive agent for 24 hours before Ops Manager removes it from the page.
Delete from the Server¶
To delete the Monitoring Agent from a Linux or macOS server, stop the
agent and then remove the
mongodb-mms-monitoring-agent file from the /usr/bin directory. If you
installed the agent using a tar.gz file, the agent will be in the
directory you chose during installation.
To delete the Monitoring Agent from a Windows server, stop the agent and then use the Windows program uninstaller
to remove the MongoDB Monitoring Agent program.
