Delete application by API

[Kadu.Barral]

Hi folks,

We're using kubernets here and a wrong configuration created a lot of Applications, one for each pod. I used the AppDynamicsREST project in python to list all wrong application name but I can't find a way to delete them.

Do you know if it is possible?

Thanks

Hi Kadu,

Thanks for posting the question on the Community.

Application deletion API exists, and this needs authorization token retrieval first, so could you try these lines of execution? Caution to pass only your target application ID in <application_ID>.

1. curl -s -c cookie.appd --user <username>@<customer name>:<password> -X GET "http://<url>:<port>/controller/auth?action=login"
2. X_CSRF_TOKEN="$(grep X-CSRF-TOKEN cookie.appd|rev|cut -d$'\t' -f1|rev)" 
3. X_CSRF_TOKEN_HEADER=$([ -n "$X_CSRF_TOKEN" ] && echo "X-CSRF-TOKEN:$X_CSRF_TOKEN" || echo '')
4. curl -X POST <url>:<port>/controller/restui/allApplications/deleteApplication -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" --data "<application_ID>" -b cookie.appd -H "$X_CSRF_TOKEN_HEADER"

Please run these queries by the user who has delete permissions on your applications.

Let me know if this helped you.

Many thanks,

Naoto

Curl command produces this cookie file for 20.4 version.

The next two commands fail to parse obviously.

Can you suggest?

Also, would this sequence of steps delete all artifacts of the app - BTs, Tiers, and Nodes?

Hi Venkat,

We're sorry for our late reply. 

From the cookie file you retrieved in the 1st step, could you try to pick up JSESSIONID and X-CSRF-TOKEN and replace the following place-holder values? 

curl -i -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN:<<TOKEN FROM STEP 1>>" -H "Cookie: JSESSIONID=<<JSESSIONID from Step 1>>; X-CSRF-TOKEN:<<TOKEN FROM STEP 1>>;" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" --data "<<application ID you want to delete>>" http://<<hostName>>:<<port>>/controller/restui/allApplications/deleteApplication
