Still to be verified

1) Uninisntall agent
2) Remove from data colector Rule

3)On system:

sudo systemctl stop azuremonitoragent
sudo yum remove azuremonitor-agent -y
sudo yum remove azuremonitor -y
sudo rm -rf /var/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent
sudo rm -rf /etc/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent
sudo rm -rf /var/log/azuremonitor
sudo rm -rf /opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waagent/AzureMonitorLinuxAgent
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waagent/AzureMonitorAgent

4) check if still proxy is present
tail -f /var/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent/log/mdsd.info

Remove proxy from
cat /etc/default/azuremonitoragent ==> there is a proxy here?!?!?!?! WHY?!!

!!! It could reappear if it is actually imported from somewhere

Some other data:

AZMON_AGENT_HOME=/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent
AZMON_AGENT_LOG=/var/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent/log
AZMON_AGENT_CONFIG=/etc/opt/microsoft/azuremonitoragent/config
