OMSagent causing extremely high CPU usage

Question

_{Tuesday, June 18, 2019 6:47 AM}

Hi,

i've got issues with 2 of my Debian VMs in a resource group that are having high CPU usage because of the OMSAgent trying to do something every ~10 minutes. These VMs are losing network connectivity.

How can i reinstall this software on it or just flat out stop it?

Thanks,
Phill

Thanks for the advice,

I have uninstalled the extension on the VM for the OmsAgentForLinux. (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/insights/vminsights-optout)

I have now seen that this has resolved the issue.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Phill
