How do I remove a server/ instance in nls 2.0?

Hello, @benhank.If you go to the admin menu and then open the Instance Status menu you'll be able to remove an instance by clicking on the "trash" icon in the actions table.

A little explanation.
We have a single install of NLS on one server.
i then installed NLS on a test server and connected it to the production server.
now that the server is nice and replicated, i want to remove the test server from the cluster which allows me to have a pool of data to test stuff with.

ok, if you want this to disconnect and then not re-connect to the cluster, do the following on the test system and the live system
stop elasticsearch on both systems

Code: Select all

service elasticsearch stop

edit /usr/local/nagioslogserver/var/cluster_hosts on both systems to ONLY include the IP of the machine you are working on.

start elasticsearch on both systems

Code: Select all

service elasticsearch start

They should not re-join each other
