Stop/restart OneAgent on Windows

In case you don't want to use OneAgent inside a particular Java (or other) process, you can easily disable Dynatrace monitoring for individual hosts, process groups, or applications:

  1. Go to Settings > Monitoring overview.
  2. Click the Hosts, Process groups, or Applications tab to access the monitoring switches for individual entities.
  3. Slide the Monitoring switch to the Off position.
  4. Restart all processes for which monitoring has been disabled.

Restart using OneAgent command-line interface

OneAgent version 1.189 When you use the set parameters, you need to restart OneAgent service to apply changes. Since version 1.189, you can use the --restart-service parameter with the command that triggers the restart automatically. In some cases you'll also need to restart monitored applications.

For example:

  • Linux or AIX: ./oneagentctl --set-proxy=my-proxy.com --restart-service
  • Windows: .\oneagentctl.exe --set-proxy=my-proxy.com --restart-service

You can also use it on its own, without other parameters.

Stop OneAgent using the command line

If you use configuration management tools like Puppet or Ansible, you can alternatively stop the OneAgent service using the following command:

net stop "Dynatrace OneAgent", where Dynatrace OneAgent is the service name for OneAgent.

Note: If you stop OneAgent service, monitoring will be disabled until the service is restarted.

Start OneAgent using the command line

To start OneAgent again, use the following command:

net start "Dynatrace OneAgent", where Dynatrace OneAgent is the service name for OneAgent.
