De-Register and/or Re-Register a Skyline Collector

[ririmia]

Hello,

I'm trying to follow https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/74677 and at the step 9 from "Re-Register the Skyline Collector" I can't access the "Initial Configuration wizard".

I'm log in with admin account in to the appliance Skyline Collector user interface and I only see that Collector is Running.

How can I 'force' the "initial configuration wizard" again?

I need to re-register with a new token. The collector is already De-registered from Skyline Advisor Dashboard.

Thanks!

Howdy,

Did you power down the collector & wait an hour before deregistering it from online skyline advisor? It sounds like your collector is still registered.

When I look at my collector which is running and registered, there is no sign of the 'initial configuration wizard' anywhere. It sounds like yours still think's it's registered! 🙂

It's all new to me, I'm only part way through the free course atm. Skyline Advisor Pro Technologist (vmware.com)

Good luck!

Hi DurhamNeil,

Thanks for your answer.

The collector is already de-registered from Cloud portal. I was in a need to register the same collector appliance with a different token id without a need to reinstall the entire appliance.

Later on I found the solution by removing the file /usr/local/skyline/ccf/config/generated/CollectorConfig.json

You can create a backup of endpoints configurations folder and copy it back after you complete the new configuration.
