# Manage a Harbor connector

After successfully adding a connector, you can modify the connector settings and configure the scanning scope to control which images are scanned in the connected registry.

To manage the connector, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Settings → Data Sources & Integrations**.
2. Find the **Harbor** data source from the list of data sources, or use the filter to search.
3. Select the **Harbor** row. A pane opens with a list of integration instances and their details.

   You can create a new instance by selecting **Add Instance** and following the [onboarding wizard](/cortex-cloud-posture-management/cortex-cloud-data-sources-and-connectors/cloud-posture-and-runtime-security-data-sources/container-registry-scanning/connect-harbor-registry.md) to define the settings.
4. Right click an instance to perform actions on it as follows:

   <table><thead><tr><th width="223.14453125">Action</th><th>Instructions</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Edit</strong></td><td><p>Edit the Harbor instance.</p><div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><h4>Note</h4><ul><li>If you selected <strong>Scan with Broker VM</strong> mode, you can't change to a different scan mode (such as <strong>Cloud Discovery</strong> or <strong>Scan with Outpost</strong>) when you edit the instance.</li><li>When editing an instance configured for <strong>Scan with Broker VM,</strong> you must re-enter your authentication credentials, including <strong>Username</strong>, <strong>Password</strong>, and <strong>CA certificate</strong>.</li></ul></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Exclude/Include images</strong></td><td>Define conditions to automatically exclude or include specific images while scanning. Conditions can be based on <strong>Repository</strong> or <strong>Tags</strong>. These conditions apply automatically to newly discovered images in the account.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Delete</strong></td><td>Removes the connector.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Disable</strong></td><td>Stops image scanning for the connector without deleting it.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-posture-management/cortex-cloud-data-sources-and-connectors/cloud-posture-and-runtime-security-data-sources/container-registry-scanning/connect-harbor-registry/manage-a-harbor-connector.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
