# Disabling or removing outputs from a MediaConnect flow
<a name="outputs-remove"></a>

You can disable or remove outputs that you added to the flow. If AWS Elemental MediaConnect generated the output as the result of an entitlement, you must [revoke the entitlement](entitlements-revoke.md).

Disabling an output stops the streaming of content to the output destination, but remains attached to the flow. A disabled output does not incur data transfer costs.

**To disable an output (console)**

1. Open the MediaConnect console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/).

1. On the **Flows** page, choose the name of the flow that is associated with the output that you want to disable.

   The details page for that flow appears. 

1. Choose the **Outputs** tab.

1. Choose the output, and then choose **Update**.

1. In the **Update output **window, use the **Output status** toggle to disable or enable the selected output.

1. Choose **Save** to save your changes.

**To disable an output (AWS CLI)**
+ In the AWS CLI, use the `update-flow-output` command with the `--output-status DISABLED` option to disable the output. Alternately, you can use `--output-status ENABLED` to enable a disabled output.

  ```
  aws mediaconnect update-flow-output --flow-arn "arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:flow:1-23aBC45dEF67hiJ8-12AbC34DE5fG:BasketballGame" --output-arn "arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:output:2-3aBC45dEF67hiJ89-c34de5fG678h:Output1" --output-status DISABLED
  ```

  The following example shows the return value:

  ```
  {
      "FlowArn": "arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:flow:1-23aBC45dEF67hiJ8-12AbC34DE5fG:BasketballGame",
      "Output": {
          "Destination": "192.0.2.12",
          "Name": "NYCOutput",
          "OutputArn": "arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:output:2-3aBC45dEF67hiJ89-c34de5fG678h:NYCOutput",
          "OutputStatus": "DISABLED",
          "Port": 5020,
          "Transport": {
              "MinLatency": 1000,
              "Protocol": "rtp-fec"
          }
      }
  }
  ```
