Uninstalling Nodinite Mule ESB Monitoring Agent

Easily and safely remove the Nodinite Monitoring solution for Mule ESB with this comprehensive guide. Ensure a clean environment and avoid unnecessary alerts by following these best practices.

Nodinite version 7

Preferred Method: Portal-Based PowerShell Script

In Nodinite v7, agent uninstallation is automated through the Portal-based PowerShell scripts. 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

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. Please upgrade to Nodinite v7 for the modern Portal-based scripted uninstallation experience.

To fully uninstall, remove both components:

  1. The Nodinite Mule ESB Monitoring Agent – typically installed on the Nodinite application server
  2. The Nodinite Mule ESB Monitoring Application – always installed on monitored Mule ESB instances

You can uninstall the Nodinite Mule ESB Monitoring Agent by running the installer directly or using 'Add or Remove Programs' in Windows.
