Hi there,  
The docs state  
“In PMM, you can disable the dashboards that you do not require. They will disappear from the Dashboard Dropdown  
list. You can enable them back again”

Can anyone direct me as to where I can do this as I cant sem to find it at all.

User story:  
As a user  
I would like to  
disable/remove the dashboards that Im not interested in (MongoDB,HA,Cloud, Insight)  
so that  
I am only presented with relevant choices.

cheers!

conor

Hi Conor,  
There is a reference here to removing dashboards [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-…loy/index.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/deploy/index.html)  
It mentions

> [@](#):
>
> Click the PMM button to open the plugin settings. The Config tab enables updating and enabling the plugin.  
> The Dashboards tab lists all available dashboards. To deactivate any dashboard, select the Trash Bin button.

Can you see if that’s what you need?

You might also get something from this recent blog post [https://www.percona.com/blog/2018/03…ng-management/](https://www.percona.com/blog/2018/03/14/adding-custom-graphs-dashboards-percona-monitoring-management/)

Also, there’s a PMM start command and a corresponding PMM stop  
For example to stop MongoDB metrics collection

```auto
pmm-admin stop mongodb:metrics 

```

This page might help [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-…mm-admin-start](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/pmm-admin.html#pmm-admin-start) there is a list of services at the end of that, you can also refer to this page for the admin options [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-…-admin-options](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-monitoring-and-management/pmm-admin.html#pmm-admin-options)

If that’s not quite what you need, could you maybe take a look at [https://pmmdemo.percona.com/](https://pmmdemo.percona.com/) and see which of the examples you want to emulate? Then I can ask the team directly how they achieve that presentation.

Hope this helps?
