Understanding the Uninstall Process
The agent is more than a program on a server: Nodinite also holds a Monitoring Agent configuration for it, and the agent publishes Resources (subscriptions, Resource Groups, Logic Apps, failed runs) that your Monitor Views use. Remove the Nodinite side first, then the program.

| Method | Nodinite version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Portal-based PowerShell script | v7 | ✅ Recommended |
| Add or Remove Programs, or the MSI file | v6 | ⚠️ Legacy, deprecated |
Nodinite version 7
Preferred Method: Portal-Based PowerShell Script
In Nodinite v7, the Portal-based PowerShell scripts automate agent uninstallation. This modern approach:
- ✅ Automates agent removal via PowerShell commands
- ✅ Removes multiple agents simultaneously with consistent settings
- ✅ Eliminates manual uninstallation steps and reduces human error
- ✅ Centrally manages uninstallation from the Portal
The scripts come from the same Portal workflow as Install Nodinite v7 and Update Nodinite v7.
Nodinite version 6 (Add or Remove Programs - Legacy)
Warning
The Add or Remove Programs uninstallation method for Nodinite v6 is deprecated and will be retired. Upgrade to Nodinite v7 for the modern Portal-based scripted uninstallation experience.
Before You Uninstall
Important
Remove Nodinite configurations BEFORE uninstalling the agent to prevent errors and maintain a clean environment.
Required Configuration Changes
- Remove Resources - Delete all Resources associated with this agent from Monitor Views
- Remove Monitoring Agent Configuration - Delete the Monitoring Agent entry from Administration (Add or manage a Monitoring Agent Configuration)

What Happens If You Skip This?
If you uninstall without removing configurations:
- ❌ Users receive continuous error alerts - Monitor Views will show "unavailable" errors for missing resources
