After you enable monitoring of your AKS cluster, you can stop monitoring the cluster if you decide you no longer want to monitor it. This article shows how to accomplish this using the Azure CLI or with the provided Azure Resource Manager templates.

Azure CLI

Use the az aks disable-addons command to disable Container insights. The command removes the agent from the cluster nodes, it does not remove the solution or the data already collected and stored in your Azure Monitor resource.

az aks disable-addons -a monitoring -n MyExistingManagedCluster -g MyExistingManagedClusterRG

To re-enable monitoring for your cluster, see Enable monitoring using Azure CLI.

Azure Resource Manager template

Provided are two Azure Resource Manager template to support removing the solution resources consistently and repeatedly in your resource group. One is a JSON template specifying the configuration to stop monitoring and the other contains parameter values that you configure to specify the AKS cluster resource ID and resource group that the cluster is deployed in.

If you're unfamiliar with the concept of deploying resources by using a template, see:

Note

The template needs to be deployed in the same resource group of the cluster. If you omit any other properties or add-ons when using this template, it can result in their removal from the cluster. For example, enableRBAC for Kubernetes RBAC policies implemented in your cluster, or aksResourceTagValues if tags are specified for the AKS cluster.

If you choose to use the Azure CLI, you first need to install and use the CLI locally. You must be running the Azure CLI version 2.0.27 or later. To identify your version, run az --version. If you need to install or upgrade the Azure CLI, see Install the Azure CLI.

Create template

Copy and paste the following JSON syntax into your file:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "aksResourceId": {
       "type": "string",
       "metadata": {
         "description": "AKS Cluster Resource ID"
       }
   },
  "aksResourceLocation": {
    "type": "string",
    "metadata": {
       "description": "Location of the AKS resource e.g. \"East US\""
     }
   },
"aksResourceTagValues": {
  "type": "object",
  "metadata": {
    "description": "Existing all tags on AKS Cluster Resource"
    }
  }
 },
"resources": [
  {
    "name": "[split(parameters('aksResourceId'),'/')[8]]",
    "type": "Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters",
    "location": "[parameters('aksResourceLocation')]",
    "tags": "[parameters('aksResourceTagValues')]",
    "apiVersion": "2018-03-31",
    "properties": {
      "mode": "Incremental",
      "id": "[parameters('aksResourceId')]",
      "addonProfiles": {
        "omsagent": {
          "enabled": false,
          "config": null
        }
       }
     }
   }
  ]
}

Save this file as OptOutTemplate.json to a local folder.

Paste the following JSON syntax into your file:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "aksResourceId": {
      "value": "/subscriptions/<SubscriptionID>/resourcegroups/<ResourceGroup>/providers/Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/<ResourceName>"
    },
    "aksResourceLocation": {
      "value": "<aksClusterRegion>"
    },
    "aksResourceTagValues": {
      "value": {
        "<existing-tag-name1>": "<existing-tag-value1>",
        "<existing-tag-name2>": "<existing-tag-value2>",
        "<existing-tag-nameN>": "<existing-tag-valueN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Edit the values for aksResourceId and aksResourceLocation by using the values of the AKS cluster, which you can find on the Properties page for the selected cluster.

While you are on the Properties page, also copy the Workspace Resource ID. This value is required if you decide you want to delete the Log Analytics workspace later. Deleting the Log Analytics workspace is not performed as part of this process.

Edit the values for aksResourceTagValues to match the existing tag values specified for the AKS cluster.
Save this file as OptOutParam.json to a local folder.
You are ready to deploy this template.

Remove the solution using Azure CLI

Execute the following command with Azure CLI on Linux to remove the solution and clean up the configuration on your AKS cluster.

az login   
az account set --subscription "Subscription Name"
az deployment group create --resource-group <ResourceGroupName> --template-file ./OptOutTemplate.json --parameters @./OptOutParam.json

The configuration change can take a few minutes to complete. When it's completed, a message similar to the following that includes the result is returned:

ProvisioningState       : Succeeded

Remove the solution using PowerShell

Note

This article uses the Azure Az PowerShell module, which is the recommended PowerShell module for interacting with Azure. To get started with the Az PowerShell module, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

Execute the following PowerShell commands in the folder containing the template to remove the solution and clean up the configuration from your AKS cluster.

Connect-AzAccount
Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName <yourSubscriptionName>
New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -Name opt-out -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -TemplateFile .\OptOutTemplate.json -TemplateParameterFile .\OptOutParam.json
