Delete/Re-register hosts on PMM2

Hi - I’m doing some cleanup on my hmm server and would like to delete and re-add all the monitored hosts. Please suggest how do I go about it . I tried deleting all the services , agents and nodes from PMM Inventory , but I still see all the hosts on the main dashboard. How do I clean it up all ?

and when I try to remove them using this command I get the below error

[root@aws-d-us-pmm-mon20 rules]# pmm-admin remove mysql a10-d-usa-c10-rds-20
Unauthorized. Please check username and password.

Thanks

Hi Deepthi,

Could you provide a screenshot of PMM Inventory page (tab Nodes) and “pmm-admin list” command output on the monitored node (aws-d-us-pmm-mon20)?

Did you enable the Force mode during node deleting operation?

There you go . Yes, I have used Force mode. The monitored node is a Amazon RDS Aurora , I don’t have access to the physical node.

aws-d-us-pmm-mon20 is my pmm monitoring server , not the monitored host . MOnitored host is a10-d-usa-c10-rds-20

should I be giving it sometime to clean up the Home dashboard ?

Timeseries are not deleted if an instanced is dropped.
You may use the next API request to your PMM server in order to delete all data.
curl -G -u admin:admin -k 'https://aws-d-us-pmm-mon20/prometheus/api/v1/admin/tsdb/delete_series' --data-urlencode 'match[]={__name__=~".*"}'

Awesome ! it looks like time series graphs cleared themselves with matter of time. I’ll save the command for future though ! Thanks again !!
