Hi,
For some reason I have Uptime Monitors which are orphaned as I am not running any Browser Synthetic Integrations from within Fleet. Would like to somehow remove these.
**Kibana version** :
8.7

Hi @zx8086,
Thanks for posting the question.
Is it an active monitor i.e. do new results come in? And, do you see any policies under Integrations -\> Elastic Synthetics -\> Integration policies?

Hi @abdulz
There are no active Browser Synthetics and no Monitors under under Integrations -\> Elastic Synthetics -\> Integration policies that are not accounted for.

Hi @zx8086 ,
Can you help us understand how you end on this situation and also provide some information so that we can have a better understanding of the issue. What you end up on is not a known scenario that we have a clue of atm.
1. Did you create a private location via Uptime Monitor Management or via Synthetics?
2. Or any other action/integration you think might have caused this?
3. Can you send us a snapshot of how policies look under the synthetics integration and the policy config of any one of the policies which are related to the above monitors (_with sensitive information redacted_).

1. These were already there before the introduction of the Synthetic UI. Been using the elastic-complete container to run the Monitors.
2. N / A
3. We have removed the Browser Synthetics, so providing the monitors which are all http based.
