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
    Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2017 11:21:15 GMT
    Content-Length: 0

     

  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 ?

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

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

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