I must be missing something... I've seen the advice given in this thread Re: Unassign nodes from a created template but as this is 5 years old and apparently applied to APM (not SAM) there is no "Manage Assigned Application Monitors" link any longer. I would figure that removing an application monitor from a node would be pretty intuitive but for the life of me I can't find where to do it. Please help this (possibly blind?) man see!
OK I found it... under Manage Application Monitors, you can "delete" the link there. However, seeing this
... is a bit alarming and misleading and implies that you may be about to blow away potentially hours of work. Any way to modify this so that it's a bit... erm... clearer that it's just the assignment you're deleting?
Instead of deleting the component from the assigned application or template, you can simply disable them. This retains the configuration settings and allows you to easily revert the change if needed. Deleting is forever. Hence the ominous warning message.
The thing is, if you do it from where I specified, it doesn't delete the Application Monitor, just the link. The problem is that the warning that shows up makes it look like you might be deleting the app monitor when you're not.
From where you referenced, deleting in this case is removing the assigned application as a whole from the designated node. Are you trying to no longer monitor an entire application or just one or two components of an application? If you are trying to remove the entire application from being monitored on the node, then this the correct manner in which to do so.
