If you do not need to monitor your Python environment or if you want to upgrade the
Python data collector, you must first unconfigure
previous settings for the Python data collector.
Procedure
-
Go to the home directory of your Python application.
-
Remove the following lines from the requirements.txt file for the
application:
--extra-index-url https://<your_host_name_and_domain>/python_dc/static/python-dc-repos/simple/
ibm-python-dc
-
In the settings.py file, remove the following line from the
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES section:
ibm_python_dc.kpg_plugin.ResourceMiddleware
-
Run the
pip uninstall ibm_python_dc command
to uninstall the Python data collector from the Python
run time.
Results
You have successfully unconfigured the Python data collector.
What to do next
After you unconfigure the data collector, the
Cloud APM console continues to display the data
collector in any applications that you added the data collector to. The Cloud APM console will show that no data is available for the
application and will not indicate that the data collector is offline. For information about how to
remove the data collector from applications and from resource groups, see Removing data collectors from Cloud APM console.
