Plugin appears even after deletion

Plugin appears in client even after deletion

For example, if you want to delete an Apache plugin from Site24x7, delete the following files/folder:
  1. apache.py file from /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/apache/
  2. /apache/ directory
  3. /opt/site24x7/monagent/conf/pl_id_mapper
Restart the server agent. The monitor will be removed from the client.

In case you have multiple plugin monitors in Site24x7, deleting the pl_id_mapper file will make the plugins to reregister to Site24x7 server. In most cases, it will not affect the plugin monitors.

If you face an issue, it must be because the plugin version of the current plugin is less than the higher version of plugin that's available. So, the plugin will not reregister. In that case, increment the plugin version for the data collection to happen. This case is applicable when there are multiple plugin versions available in Site24x7 across different servers.
