mongoDB & SkylineService issues?

[cy...]

I have been noticing this MongoDB Database Server & SkylineServices (~6 tasks) running in my task manager, hogging up to 40% CPU. I am not running any LV programs and the tasks points to NI folders

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Skyline\CloudConnector

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Skyline\NoSqlDatabase\bin

Any ideas what they are, used for, and how to remove them?

You're lucky. I have 20 skyline services...

They only use 0-4% CPU, every now an then though.

These are related to the G Web Development software.

Not sure how obvious that is...

I'd be interested in that.

thanks @wiebe for the reply. can't recall what I did but able to stop these services from auto-restarting themselves after disabling some items in Windows' Service

But does the G Web Development module still work?

I'd hope that removing it (and reinstall in a VM) will do the trick too.

G Web still can work: run, run in browser, build. even hosting the webapp through web server

MongoDB seemed to be started by the SystemLink Service Manager. (desc: This service manages NI services.)

wonder what are the yet-to-be-discover side effects of disabling it 🤔

Why do you need ?

It only launches a mongo client with a user console to connect to the running mongo db process. If you create a linux or windows service don't call mongo.

We're assuming these things are installed for a purpose.

Why do we need them? Indeed... We don't know the purpose.

I'm assuming the MongoDB service is used by any of the other services, or by the G Web Development module itself.

From OPs earlier comments, it seems it's a SystemLink requirement. I don't know how many that actually use that.

in any case, I hope someone from NI can provide an answer on this:

1. what are they used for?
2. can they be disabled (if not uninstalled)? if yes, what will be the consequences
3. is the step in (2) reversible? or can only be reversed through repair (if not NIPM reinstallation)

reason I disabled them initially is primarily because of performance (and probably thermal issues)
