After you enable monitoring of your Azure Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift version 4.x cluster, you can stop monitoring the cluster with Container insights if you decide you no longer want to monitor it. This article shows how to accomplish this.

How to stop monitoring using Helm

  1. To first identify the Container insights helm chart release installed on your cluster, run the following helm command.

    helm list --all-namespaces

    The output will resemble the following:

    NAME                            NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED                                 STATUS          CHART                           APP VERSION
azmon-containers-release-1      default         3               2020-04-21 15:27:24.1201959 -0700 PDT   deployed        azuremonitor-containers-2.7.0   7.0.0-1

    azmon-containers-release-1 represents the helm chart release for Container insights.

  2. To delete the chart release, run the following helm command.

    helm delete <releaseName>

    Example:

    helm delete azmon-containers-release-1

    This will remove the release from the cluster. You can verify by running the helm list command:

    NAME                            NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED                                 STATUS          CHART                           APP VERSION

The configuration change can take a few minutes to complete. Because Helm tracks your releases even after you’ve deleted them, you can audit a cluster’s history, and even undelete a release with helm rollback.
