From the edit form you can:

  • Turn the plugin's default activation on or off.
  • Add, change, or remove the HTTP headers sent with requests to the plugin (for example, an API key).

The plugin's manifest URL is shown for reference but cannot be changed. To point to a different manifest, remove the plugin and add it again with the new URL.

The default activation toggle is unavailable when 5 plugins are already enabled by default, unless the plugin you are editing is one of them.

    Click on the Actions dropdown for the plugin you want to remove.

  2. 2

    Choose Delete and confirm the action.

  3. 3

    The plugin will be uninstalled from your Agent application.

Removing a plugin may result in the loss of associated data or functionality. Proceed with caution and ensure that you have backups if necessary.
