How can I delete all pingable devices?

How can I remove all pingable devices from NetOps Performance Management / PM

Resolution

This can be accomplished via a script that is available from Support.  The syntax and instructions are as follows:

Usage: deleteAllPingableDevices.pl -da server [-p httpsport] [-b batchsize] [-sl sleepSeconds] [-u user] [-pw pass]

 

Unless there is a specific reason, the defaults for batchsize (500) and sleepSeconds (5) are perfectly acceptable so one would run the script as follows.

HTTP example:

./deleteAllPingableDevices.pl -da <DA_HostName> -u <PortalUser> -pw <PortalUserPasswd>

HTTPS example:

./deleteAllPingableDevices.pl -da <DA_HostName> -u <PortalUser> -pw <PortalUserPasswd> -p 8582

Additional Information

Please raise a case with Support and request a copy of the deleteAllPingableDevices.pl script that is associated with this KB Article.
