Edit the connection
Editing the connection might be required to update the administrator credentials used to establish the Provisioning Service or StoreFront connection.
To edit an existing connection, do the following:
- Navigate to the Connect Citrix components page from the Settings or Infrastructure tab.
- On the list of connections table, click the three dots at the end of the row on the component of interest.
- Click Edit and update the details as required.
Remove a component
You can do it from the Monitor UI or using the PowerShell command.
Using Monitor UI
Removing a component is a process of deregistering a Provisioning Service or StoreFront connection from Monitor. Once the deregistration process is complete, new data collection is stopped for the selected component. To remove an existing connection:
- Navigate to the Connect Citrix components page from the Settings or Infrastructure tab.
- On the list of connections table, click the three dots at the end of the row on the component of interest.
- Click Remove. The connection is deregistered and removed from Monitor.
Using PowerShell command
In the event you need to deregister a given component, run the following PowerShell command on the device where PoshSDK is installed:
Remove-MonitorDirectorAgent -Fqdn <FQDN of component> -Component <component> -ResourceLocationId <resourceLocationID> -AdminAddress localhost:19097

A sample command to remove registration of the Citrix Infrastructure Monitor is as follows:
Note:
Deregistering a component only stops the data flow from the specific component to Monitor. If you need to uninstall Citrix Infrastructure Monitor, uninstall it from the Control panel.
