# Manage instances

You can manage the instances configured for a data source on the **Data Sources & Integrations** page. You can edit, delete, enable, or disable instances, and refresh log data.

1. Navigate to Settings → Data Sources & Integrations.
2. Find an integration by clicking on a data source name in the table or filtering for it, then select the data source.
3. Right click the relevant instance. From the menu, you can perform actions such as:
   * Enable or disable an Instance.
   * Refresh log data (by selecting Refresh).
   * Edit the instance.
   * Delete the instance.

     If you delete all the instances for a Data Source, the Data Source is not listed on the **Data Sources & Integrations** page.

# Agent Instructions

## 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-runtime-security/cortex-cloud-data-sources-and-connectors/administration-and-troubleshooting/manage-instances.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.
