I am able to list services using pmm-admin after using -server-insecure-tls. But interestingly, it shows something like below:

I have several MySQL and couple of postgres instances registered and showing up on the dashboard. I want to remove some postgres and some mysql instances. How do I do that.&nbsp;  
Thank you!

Hi Venkat,  
Please use the command&nbsp;**_pmm-admin remove \<service-type\> [\<service-name\>]_**  
  
You should specify type and name of a service for removing.  
  
Here is an example of removing a mongodb instance.  
e.g.  
[ec2-user@ip-10-178-1-105 ~]$ pmm-admin list

Hi Adivinho,Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. I am aware of that from documentation. However if you see what I had posted, it’s only showing one service name. Others are all agent type. I have a feel that something has changed &nbsp;in the latest update 2.6.0. I could be missing something?  
Here it is again:

Hi&nbsp;Venkat,  
You are using pmm-admin command directly on the pmm-server. So service names are not shown.  
There is present an additional command that can be used for managing&nbsp;instances.  
**_pmm-admin inventory --help_**  
Please notice that an agent related to a service has to be removed first.  
e.g.  
# pmm-admin inventory remove agent /agent\_id/b52e2f4e-e758-4fe9-af07-6bc8e9adebb1  
  
Agent removed.  
# pmm-admin inventory remove service /service\_id/21747bde-6a30-4d4f-89b3-27a3c744fbae  
  
Service removed.

Hi Adivinho,  
That’s perfect! It all now worked! I don’t have enough words to thank you!  
Thanks a TON!

Additionally, had to remove the nodes as well.
