Are ECS monitoring and GPU monitoring installed by default?
The CloudMonitor agent is installed on servers by default. In the CloudMonitor console, on the page, the Auto Install Agent switch is enabled by default, so servers automatically display monitoring data. To manually install or uninstall the agent, see Install and uninstall the Cloud Monitor agent.
How do I uninstall the CloudMonitor agent from an ECS instance?
The CloudMonitor agent (process name: argusagent) collects OS-level metrics such as memory, network, and disk data from ECS instances.
After you uninstall the CloudMonitor agent, the CloudMonitor console stops collecting OS-level metrics for the instance (historical data is not affected). Basic monitoring in the ECS console (such as CPU utilization and network traffic) does not rely on this agent and remains available after uninstallation.
