Delete checks

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

If you no longer need a check, use the InfluxDB user interface (UI) to delete it.

Deleting a check cannot be undone.

  1. In the navigation menu on the left, select Alerts > Alerts.

  2. Click the icon, and then click Confirm.

After a check is deleted, all statuses generated by the check remain in the _monitoring bucket until the retention period for the bucket expires.

You can also disable a check without having to delete it.
