You can deactivate an application service to stop monitoring the application service that is sending data to VMware Aria Operations.

Prerequisite
  • If plugin deactivation requires the location of a file (for example, client certificates for SSL Trust) on the target machine, the location and the files should have appropriate read permissions for the arcuser to access those files.
    Note: If the plugin displays a permission denied status, provide the arcuser with permissions to the file locations that you have specified during plugin activation.
