How do I delete a Health Rule?

 You use this cURL command to delete Health Rules:

1. Get the JESSIONID and X-CSRF-TOKEN for the user having login access to controller UI:
   

   curl -i --user admin@customer1:admin http://localhost:8090/controller/auth?action=login​
   
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   cache-control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
   Pragma: no-cache
   Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
   Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=8edd9e48f2ec26cbeeb6f24126b5; Path=/controller; HttpOnly
   Set-Cookie: X-CSRF-TOKEN=46f1d4590d4955d55a1428e53b8d495fd57bdcd7

2. Run the following CURL call with JESSIONID and X-CSRF-TOKEN from step 1, replacing Controller host, port and credentials, and Health_rule_ids as required.
   

   curl -X POST -H "Cookie:JSESSIONID=8edd9e48f2ec26cbeeb6f24126b5;" -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN:46f1d4590d4955d55a1428e53b8d495fd57bdcd7" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" http://osxltnredd.local:8090/controller/restui/health_rules/delete -d [Health_rule_ids]​

Perfect, works as described!

Does the "HR Disable" using delete  still work in the SaaS environments? I'm unable to get this working in Postman and not seeing this option referenced in the documentation. Is this still best practice ?

[Claudia.Landivar]

Hi, @Bill.Anderson - I'll work on tracking down a reply to your question... though resolution may be next week.

[Bill.Anderson]

I opened a ticket  with support on this. They suggested this link

[Narendra.Reddy]

@Bill.Anderson These API's are still working. I have tested on one of our in-house latest controllers.
