Hi ,  
I am newbie with PMM/Grafana configuration. I just can not find a way to remove AWS RDS instance from monitoring.  
I configured it through Grafana “\_PMM Add Instance” - dashboard. I can see RDS instances can be also disabled from that dashboard too.  
But what I want is to completely remove from PMM. So that its not anymore visible in hosts lists. I disabled the monitoring, but it did not remove  
it from PMM.

Can anyone help me with this?  
Thanks

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.

Could you check if this is what you need?
