Cloud Monitor:How do I uninstall the Cloud Monitor agent?

Last Updated:Nov 11, 2025

This topic describes how to uninstall the Cloud Monitor agent for Java, Go, or C++.

Important

You can only manage the Cloud Monitor agent by using an administrator account (the root user for Linux or the Administrator user for Windows). However, using an administrator account may introduce certain risks, such as system stability or data security issues. Proceed with caution.

Windows

  1. Log on to the host where the Cloud Monitor agent resides as an administrator.

  2. Create a .ps1 file, for example, test.ps1.

  3. Copy the following content to the test.ps1 file:

    if([System.Environment]::Is64BitOperatingSystem -eq $true)
    {
        $CMS_ARCH="amd64"
        $ARGUS_ARCH="win64"
    }else
    {
        $CMS_ARCH="386"
        $ARGUS_ARCH="win32"
    }
    
    $dest_path_prefix="C:\Program Files\Alibaba"
    $dest_path="$dest_path_prefix\cloudmonitor"
    
    echo "the current arch is $CMS_ARCH"
    
    $go_dest_file="CmsGoAgent.windows-$CMS_ARCH.exe"
    $argus_dest_file="cloudmonitor_$ARGUS_ARCH.zip"
    $downloadpath="Argus/$CMS_VERSION/$argus_dest_file"
    
    if (Test-Path "$dest_path\wrapper\bin\AppCommand.bat")
    {
       echo "old java cloudmonitor already installed - remove it..."
       & "$dest_path\wrapper\bin\AppCommand.bat" remove
       rm -Force -Recurse "$dest_path"
    }
    if (Test-Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Alibaba\cloudmonitor\wrapper\bin\AppCommand.bat" )
    {
        echo "old java cloudmonitor already installed - remove it..."
        & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Alibaba\cloudmonitor\wrapper\bin\AppCommand.bat" remove
        rm -Force -Recurse "C:\Program Files (x86)\Alibaba\cloudmonitor"
    }
    
    if (Test-Path "$dest_path\$go_dest_file")
    {
        "echo remove go-agent"
        & "$dest_path\$go_dest_file" stop
        & "$dest_path\$go_dest_file" uninstall
        rm -Force -Recurse "$dest_path"
    }
  4. Save and close the test.ps1 file.

  5. Right-click the test.ps1 file and select Run with PowerShell.

Linux

  1. Log on to the host where the Cloud Monitor agent resides as a root user.

  2. Create a script file. For example, run the following command to create a file named test.sh:

    touch test.sh

  3. Run the following command to open the test.sh file:

    vi test.sh

  4. Copy the following content to the test.sh file:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    if [ -z "${CMS_HOME}" ]; then
      CMS_HOME_PREFIX="/usr/local"
      if [ -f /etc/os-release -a ! -z "`egrep -i coreos /etc/os-release`" ];then
        CMS_HOME_PREFIX="/opt"
      fi
    fi
    CMS_HOME="${CMS_HOME_PREFIX}/cloudmonitor"
    
    if [ `uname -m` = "x86_64" ]; then
        ARCH="amd64"
        ARGUS_ARCH="64"
    else
        ARCH="386"
        ARGUS_ARCH="32"
    fi
    
    case `uname -s` in
      Linux)
        CMS_OS="linux"
        ;;
      *)
        echo "Unsupported OS: $(uname -s)"
        exit 1
        ;;
    esac
    
    DEST_START_FILE=${CMS_HOME}/cloudmonitorCtl.sh
    # Uninstall the CloudMonitor agent. 
    GOAGENT_ELF_NAME=${CMS_HOME}/CmsGoAgent.${CMS_OS}-${ARCH}
    if [ -d ${CMS_HOME} ] ; then
      if [ -f ${DEST_START_FILE} ];then
        ${DEST_START_FILE} stop
      fi
      if [ -f ${CMS_HOME}/wrapper/bin/cloudmonitor.sh ] ; then
        ${CMS_HOME}/wrapper/bin/cloudmonitor.sh remove;
      fi
      if [ -f ${GOAGENT_ELF_NAME} ]; then
        ${GOAGENT_ELF_NAME} stop
      fi
      rm -rf ${CMS_HOME}
    fi
  5. Press the Esc key, enter :wq, and then press the Enter key to save and close the test.sh file.

  6. Run the following command to run the test.sh file:

    sh test.sh
