Delete interfaces in NPM

To temporarily stop collecting new data for an interface, unmanage the interface or configure a period when no data will be collected for the interface (schedule maintenance).

To stop monitoring an interface, remove the interface from monitored resources on the node or delete the interface:

• Remove the interface from resources monitored on the parent node: On the node details view, click List Resources in the Management widget, and clear the interface box.
• If you cannot find the interface in resources monitored on the node, you have probably changed its details and there might be issues with mapping the interface. In this case, delete and re-add the interface.
