I know datastax-agent is used to show to data in opscenter. But if we aren't using it, can we stop the datastax-agent process? Does it have any other use?
We are using Cassandra 3.7
On
OpsCenter is not compatible with open source Cassandra 3.x and there should not be a running datastax-agent service in 3.7. OpsCenter 6.0 only works with DSE Cassandra.
The
datastax-agentis only used for OpsCenter. Its fine to stop the process. Just be aware that you might see errors in OpsCenter for that node, if you are still using it.
