Delete agents from Telegraf Controller

Telegraf Controller is in Public Beta

Telegraf Controller is in public beta and will be part of the future Telegraf Enterprise offering. While in beta, Telegraf Controller is not meant for production use. The Telegraf Controller documentation is a work in progress, and we are actively working to improve it. If you have any questions or suggestions, please submit an issue. We welcome any and all contributions.

Beta expectations

Provide beta feedback

Remove individual or multiple Telegraf agents from Telegraf Controller.

Deleting an agent from Telegraf Controller does not affect the running Telegraf instance; it only deletes the record of the agent from Telegraf Controller.

Delete a single agent

  1. In Agents, find the agent you want to remove.
  2. Click the More button (⋮) and select Delete Agent.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Delete multiple agents

  1. In Agents, select the checkboxes for the agents you want to remove.
  2. Select Delete Agents.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Automatically delete agents

Use reporting rules to automatically delete agents that have not reported in a specified amount of time.

  1. Create a reporting rule with auto-delete enabled.
  2. Assign the newly created rule to agents.

If agents assigned to the reporting rule do not report in the defined auto-delete threshold, they are automatically deleted.
