Hi Brian,
unfortunaltey there is no such way.
If you remove the Connector, all data will be deleted. This process is not aware that Self-Monitoring is something special.
Self-Monitoring is making use of the Universal Connector.
But it might be a good Idea to ask for a quick re-initialization of this Service without having to follow the documented process of having to change the setting for Self Monitoring several times with SOI Manager restarts.
