Issue/Introduction

This article provides instructions for how to deregister a Skyline Collector. Deregistering a Skyline Collector permanently removes the Collector from Skyline.

Resolution

Follow these steps to Deregister a Skyline Collector from Skyline Advisor:

1. Login to Skyline Advisor (https://skyline.vmware.com/advisor)
2. In the Dashboard, click on ‘COLLECTOR DETAILS’ as shown in the image below:

 

3. Expand the collector which you would like to remove from Skyline reports and click on ‘DEREGISTER’
4. Click ‘YES’ to confirm.

Note: Option to deregister is enabled only when the Collector state is changed to inactive. If it’s a single collector, the option to deregister would not get enabled, as there needs to be a minimum of one Collector registered.
Power off the Skyline Collector virtual machine to change the Collector State to Inactive

If you still don’t receive an option to deregister the collector from Advisor, request you to raise an SR with Broadcom Support
