So you would still have some traffic.</P><P>If you don't want that you can stop the OneAgent Service from the command line: <A href="https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/deploy-dynatrace/oneagent/setup-tips/how-can-i-stop-restart-oneagent/">https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/deploy-dyna...</A>. You would then have to use the command line again if you want to continue monitoring.</P><P>best regards<BR />Franz</P><BR /> Tue, 04 Sep 2018 15:39:20 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Disable-monitoring-and-bandwidth/m-p/91037#M5562 franz_soengen 2018-09-04T15:39:20Z
