Disabling AppMetrics for services and servers
AppMetrics is the name given to a set of four Windows services that log telemetry for the application services and server hosting them. AppMetrics is useful for troubleshooting, but as it consumes disk space you may wish to disable the services until required.
To disable AppMetrics logging:
- on the application server, disable and stop AppMetrics' Windows services: Telegraf Data Collector Service, chronograf, grafana, influxdb
- recover disk space by removing the existing database files:
- delete the folder PentanaAppMetrics\DATA - this can be located anywhere during the installation, but is usually at c:\PentanaAppMetrics
To re-activate AppMetrics (e.g. if investigating a performance issue), enable and start the four services. The DATA folder will be recreated.
