Deleting SNMP Component Assets
There are several options for deleting SNMP component assets, and each has significant implications that you should be aware of before proceeding. You can delete only selected SNMP assets, or you can delete an entire SNMP Configuration node. The following list explains the results and implications of each option.
If you delete one or more specific SNMP assets under an SNMP Configuration node, the specified assets are removed from the Assets page, associated components are hidden on the Monitored Components page, and associated KPIs are hidden on the Analytics Overview page. Note that the KPIs are only flagged as inactive; if you rediscover the assets, the associated KPI instances are reactivated.
If you delete an SNMP configuration, all underlying SNMP assets are selected automatically. Deleting an SNMP configuration is handled the same as deleting specific SNMP assets, meaning the configuration is removed from the Assets page, and associated components are hidden on the Monitored Components page.
This option is appropriate if you have made no changes to the MIB file and want to delete only specific assets and leave the MIB and other related assets intact.
If you delete a SNMP Configuration node, all SNMP assets and related event data (including historical data) associated with the SNMP Configuration file are deleted, all associated SNMP components are removed from the Monitored Components page, and all associated KPIs are removed from the Analytics Overview page. Note that all monitored instances are actually deleted from the system, and they cannot be recovered.
This option is appropriate if you have made changes, or have added SNMP MIB configuration types to the SNMP MIB configuration file, and want those changes to take effect.
To delete SNMP component assets
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > Infrastructure Components > Assets
2. Do one of the following in the Discovered Assets panel:
Select the check box beside the SNMP Configuration to delete all SNMP assets and event data associated with this SNMP MIB configuration file.
Select the check box beside one or more SNMP assets to delete only the selected asset(s) without deleting other assets and event data associated with the SNMP MIB configuration file.
When you select an asset, the Delete button becomes active.
3. Click Delete.
A dialog is displayed asking if you want to delete the specified asset(s).
4. Answer Yes to delete the selected assets and configurations, or No to take no action.
Note:
Deleted assets are not immediately removed from the Monitored Components page. Depending on the number of monitored components, it can take some time for deleted assets to be removed from the Monitored Components and Analytics Overview pages. As a workaround, after deleting the asset, wait a few moments before verifying that the information of the Monitored Components and Analytics Overview pages has been updated.
