The RealTheory Collector is installed on each cluster to monitor and optimize your Kubernetes cluster resources. If you no longer need RealTheory to monitor and optimize a cluster, you can uninstall the RealTheory Collector from that cluster.

Procedure

  1. Locate the original deployment manifest for the Collector, or regenerate the default manifest from the RealTheory console in Settings > Agent > Deployment.

  2. Run the following command to ensure that kubectl is configured to point to the cluster that you want to uninstall the collector from:

    kubectl config use-context <cluster-context-name>

    where <cluster-context-name> is the name of the cluster context that you want to use.

  3. Run the following command to uninstall the Collector:

    kubectl delete -f <deployment_manifest>

    where <deployment_manifest> is the path to the YAML manifest used to deploy the RealTheory collector.
