Shutting Down an EMP

Enterprise Monitoring Points (EMPs) should be shut down gracefully if possible.

Shutting down physical and virtual Monitoring Points

To gracefully shut down a Monitoring Point:

Monitoring Point Shutdown method
m25, m35, m50, m70, r90, r1000 Press the power button on the back of the device and wait for the Power and Heartbeat LEDs to turn off.
v35 Issue a graceful shutdown request from the hypervisor.
r45 Use SSH to access the device and run sudo shutdown.
m20, m22, m30, r40, r400 No graceful shutdown mechanism.
CMP (AKS) See detail below.
CMP (Docker Compose) See detail below.
NMP (macOS) See detail below.
NMP (Windows) See detail below.

Shutting down a CMP installed using AKS

To shut down a CMP installed using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS):

  1. Sign in to the Azure Cloud Shell.

  2. Determine the deployment name for the Monitoring Point.

    kubectl get deployments

  3. Perform the shutdown.

    kubectl scale deploy <deployment name> --replicas=0

  4. To start it back up again:

    kubectl scale deploy <deployment name> --replicas=1

Shutting down a CMP installed using Docker Compose

To shut down a CMP installed using Docker Compose:

  1. Login to the host the Monitoring Point is deployed on.
  2. Navigate to the directory the Monitoring Point was deployed from.

  3. Perform the shutdown.

    docker-compose -f mp-compose.yaml stop

  4. To start it back up again:

    docker-compose -f mp-compose.yaml start
  • Note: On Linux hosts, you may need to run sudo docker-compose -f mp-compose.yaml stop and sudo docker-compose -f mp-compose.yaml start for these commands to execute successfully.
  • If necessary, you can use docker ps and docker kill to find and stop the two containers used by the Monitoring Point. Their names end in “sequencer_1” and “talos-001_1”.

Shutting down an NMP installed on macOS

Administrative privileges are required to stop or start the Monitoring Point.

To shut down a macOS Native Monitoring Point (NMP), click the menu bar app and select Stop Monitoring.
Screenshot of the macOS NMP menu bar app opened with Stop Monitoring highlighted.

To start it back up again, click the menu bar app and select Start Monitoring.
Screenshot of the macOS NMP menu bar app opened with Start Monitoring highlighted.

Shutting down an NMP installed on Windows

Administrative privileges are required to stop or start the Monitoring Point.

To shut down a Windows Native Monitoring Point (NMP):

  1. Login to the host the Monitoring Point is deployed on.
  2. Open a Command Prompt window and Run as Administrator.

  3. Perform the shutdown.

    net stop "AppNeta Native Monitoring Point"

  4. Confirm that the Monitoring Point stopped successfully.

    sc query "AppNeta Native Monitoring Point" | findstr "STOPPED"
    • You should see: “STATE : 1 STOPPED”.

  5. To start it back up again:

    net start "AppNeta Native Monitoring Point"

  6. Confirm that the Monitoring Point restarted successfully.

    sc query "AppNeta Native Monitoring Point" | findstr "RUNNING"
    • You should see: “STATE : 4 RUNNING”.

Note: You can also use the Windows Services app to shut down the NMP.
