When you activate launch in context on a VMware Aria Operations 6.2 and later instance, VMware Aria Operations for Logs creates an instance of the VMware Aria Operations for Logs adapter on the VMware Aria Operations instance.
The instance of the adapter remains in the VMware Aria Operations instance when you uninstall VMware Aria Operations for Logs. As a result, the launch in context menu items continue to appear in the actions menus, and point to a VMware Aria Operations for Logs instance that no longer exists.
To deactivate the launch in context functionality in VMware Aria Operations, you must remove the VMware Aria Operations for Logs adapter from the VMware Aria Operations instance.
You can use the command line utility cURL to send REST calls to VMware Aria Operations.
Prerequisites
