Step 5 - Disabling the up.time DataStore service
Now that uptime Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is successfully started and running from your MS SQL database, we no longer need to have the local MySQL datastore, which means that we can disable the unneeded service to free up some resources on the monitoring station itself.
This is done via the Window Services tool typically found in the 'Administrator Tools' section of the Start Menu or from within Computer/Server Management. You'll first want to locate and stop the 'up.time Data Store' service. Once the service is stopped, you'll need to right click on the service name, and select 'Properties' from the context menu. On the general tab of the window that opens, you should see a drop down menu for 'Startup type' that currently shows 'Automatic'. You'll want to change this option to 'Disabled' , and then click OK to save your changes.
