To keep the list of agents tidy, you can remove agents that are offline. However, if you remove an agent with an OK status, it shows up again the next time it sends a heartbeat.

1. Log in to Splunk Enterprise.
2. Select Settings and then select OTel Collectors under the Distributed Environment section. On the OpenTelemetry Collectors page, you can see the table with OTel Collectors.
3. Select the check box next to the OTel Collector that you want to delete and select Delete.
4. Confirm the deletion.

   The OTel Collector is removed from the list.
