Manual Removal of Collector from Skyline

I have a Skyline Collector registered which, initially, was not working correctly.  This was, therefore, powered down and a new collector deployed using the same IP Address.  In the process, I expected the old collector to be removed from the environment.

This hasn't occurred.  I powered down the replacement collector and powered up the original one to see if I could Deregister it but everytime I click the Deregister button, it doesn't seem to do anything.

I now have two collectors showing in Skyline, each with some information from my vCenter, meaning that any recommendations are doubled up.

Is there a way to manually remove a collector from the environment, so that I can have just the correct information available?

Thanks

Chris

Hello Chris,

Welcome to Communities,

As per the information you would like to deregister the a collector from your environment.

Please share the Collector ID which needs to be deregistered, So that we could initiate the de-registration process from the server.

Hello Meir,

Welcome to communities,

We have provided the option to de-register collector from Cloud Services.

Visit Cloud Services web portal:

VMware Cloud Services | Discovery

Under My Services select Skyline Collector >> Select "Step 5 Manage existing Collectors".

Under Actions, you would have the option to deregister the collector.
