Step 14: Final Cleanup

Remove old Nodinite v6 monitoring agent folders and files to complete the migration.

Prerequisites

Folders to Keep and Delete

In v6, monitoring agents were installed via an MSI-based installer, which allowed the admin to choose any installation path at the time. This means the old agent folders may be located on different drives or under different root folders — not necessarily under C:\Program Files\Nodinite\.

Tip

In Step 9 (Remove Old Windows Services), the script automatically captured each service's installation folder and saved them to Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt. Use that file now — it tells you exactly where to look, regardless of where the MSI placed them. If you no longer have the file, you can also check your notes from Step 6 (Export Monitoring Agents).

Important

If you are co-hosting multiple environments on the same server, only remove the old folders for the environment you just migrated. Leave other environment folders untouched until you migrate them.

Folders to Delete

Keep This Folder

  • <EnvironmentName> folder (e.g., DEV, PROD) – Contains v7 installation

Delete These Folders

Remove all old v6 monitoring agent folders. In v7, all agents run under IIS — these standalone Windows Service-based folders are no longer used.

  • Agent - Azure – Old Azure monitoring agent (replaced by IIS-hosted v7 agent)
  • Agent - Azure Logic Apps – Old Azure Logic Apps logging agent (replaced by IIS-hosted v7 agent)
  • Monitoring Agent - Database – Old database monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - DataPower – Old IBM DataPower monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Dynamics CRM – Old Microsoft Dynamics CRM monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - File Folder – Old file folder monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - IBM MQ – Old IBM MQ monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Log File Parser – Old log file parser agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Message Queueing – Old MSMQ monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Microsoft BizTalk Server – Old BizTalk Server monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Mule – Old MuleSoft monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Non Events – Old Non-Events monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - RabbitMQ – Old RabbitMQ monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Web Services – Old web services monitoring agent
  • Monitoring Agent - Windows Server – Old Windows Server monitoring agent
  • Nodinite Update – Old update service folder (only remove once all environments on this server have been migrated to v7)

Note

Only delete folders that exist. Not all environments have every monitoring agent installed.

Steps

  1. Verify all v7 services running correctly
  2. Test logging, monitoring, and alerting
  3. Open Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt (generated in Step 9) to see the exact paths of all old agent folders
  4. Review the list — remove any paths that belong to environments you are NOT cleaning up in this migration pass
  5. Delete each listed folder from the file system
  6. Delete the Nodinite Update folder (only if all environments on this server have been migrated)
  7. Do NOT delete the <EnvironmentName> folder containing your v7 installation
  8. Empty Recycle Bin if satisfied

Optional: Delete Using PowerShell

If you prefer to automate the deletion using Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt:

# Review first — open the file and verify paths before running
Get-Content .\Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt

# Delete each folder listed in the file
Get-Content .\Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt | ForEach-Object {
    if (Test-Path $_) {
        Write-Host "Removing: $_"
        Remove-Item -Path $_ -Recurse -Force
    } else {
        Write-Host "Not found (already removed or never existed): $_"
    }
}

Important

Always review Nodinite-AgentFolders.txt before running the delete script. Remove any lines for environments not yet migrated.

Completion Checklist

  • Old monitoring agent folders removed
  • Nodinite Update folder removed
  • Environment folder (e.g., DEV) preserved
  • File system cleaned up
  • v7 still working after cleanup

Migration Complete!

Congratulations! You have successfully migrated from Nodinite v6 to v7.

Next Steps

  • Test all functionality thoroughly
  • Update user documentation with new URLs
  • Train users on any UI changes
  • Monitor system performance
  • Consider future enhancements:
    • Group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA)
    • OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect authentication

Contact your Partner or Nodinite Support for guidance on advanced features.

Troubleshooting

Accidentally Deleted Environment Folder

Problem: Removed environment folder (e.g., DEV) instead of monitoring agent folders.

Solution:

  • Stop - don't remove more files
  • Restore from backup if available
  • Re-download and run Portal PowerShell script to reinstall v7
  • Contact Nodinite Support if needed

v7 Not Working After Cleanup

Problem: Services fail after removing old folders.

Solution:

  • Verify you didn't remove the environment folder (e.g., DEV)
  • Check IIS application pools are running
  • Restore from backup if needed
  • Review Event Viewer for errors

Cannot Find Old Monitoring Agent Folders

Problem: Folders listed don't exist in your installation.

Solution:

  • This is normal - only delete folders that exist
  • Each environment has different monitoring agents installed
  • If folder doesn't exist, skip to the next one
