Delete an AVEVA Events to CONNECT component

When you remove an agent component, the configuration and log files are saved into a sub-directory in case they are needed later. Any associated types, streams, and data remain on the respective endpoints.

Complete the following steps to delete a component:

1. Start any of the configuration tools capable of making HTTP requests.

2. Run a DELETE command to the following endpoint: http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/system/components/<ComponentId>

   Note: You must make an empty DELETE command against the Id of the component you want to delete. 5590 is the default port number. If you selected a different port number, replace it with that value.

   To delete a component:

Using Curl commands

To delete a component:

curl.exe --ntlm --negotiate -u <UserName> -X DELETE "http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/system/components/<ComponentId>"

Using Configurator plugin

To delete a component:

3. Select an item of type EventsToCONNECT in the System Component list.

4. Select Delete.

File relocation

All configuration and log files are renamed and moved when a system component is deleted. The files are renamed according to the timestamp of removal, for example, FileName.json_removed_yyyy-MM-dd--hh-mm-ss.

Configuration files are moved to the following locations:

• Windows: %ProgramData%\OSIsoft\Adapters\EventsToCONNECT\Configuration\Removed

• Windows: %ProgramData%\OSIsoft\Adapters\EventsToCONNECT\Logs\Removed

In the following example, one service is installed on a particular Windows node with the name <Adapter>System. A component with the name <Adapter>DeviceX was added and configured and later removed. This is the resulting relocation and renaming scheme after deletion:

REST URLs

Note: Replace ComponentId with the Id of the component that you want to delete.
