Delete Monitor

Overview

Monitors in Exa are automated data collection tasks that fetch and index live web data at scheduled intervals. Deleting a monitor stops its scheduled runs and removes it from your dashboard, freeing up resources and reducing data ingestion. This action is permanent—once deleted, the monitor configuration cannot be recovered, though any previously collected data may remain in your system depending on your retention policy. You should delete monitors that are no longer relevant to your AI applications or data pipelines.

Before you begin

  • An active Exa account with dashboard access at dashboard.exa.ai
  • An existing monitor named "Latest News On XAI Every hour" (or the monitor you wish to delete)
  • Appropriate permissions to manage monitors in your Exa organization
